Sodium nitrite is reacted with H2SO4 to form NaHSO4,HNO3, water and X. Gold is dissolved in aqua regia to form water, AuCl4- and Y.X and Y are respectively
  1. NO,NO2
  2. NO2,NO
  3. NO,NO
  4. N2O,NO

Solution

Sodium nitrite reacts with sulphuric acid to form sodium sulphate, nitric acid and nitric oxide.

2NaNO2 + H2SO4  Na2SO4 + NO + H2O
