Nitrogen and sulfur — practice question

In some fireworks, powdered aluminium reacts with powdered barium nitrate. Heat is released, an unreactive gas is formed, and every nitrogen atom is reduced. What is the equation for this reaction?

  • A$2\text{Al} + \text{Ba(NO}_3)_2 \rightarrow \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 + \text{BaO} + 2\text{NO}$
  • B$4\text{Al} + 4\text{Ba(NO}_3)_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 + 4\text{Ba(NO}_2)_2 + \text{O}_2$
  • C$10\text{Al} + 3\text{Ba(NO}_3)_2 \rightarrow 5\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 + 3\text{BaO} + 3\text{N}_2$
  • D$10\text{Al} + 18\text{Ba(NO}_3)_2 \rightarrow 10\text{Al(NO}_3)_3 + 18\text{BaO} + 3\text{N}_2$
