SUMMARY
Nitrogen gas can be produced in a laboratory by combining ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and sodium nitrite (NaNO2) through a gentle heating process. The chemical reaction yields nitrogen gas (N2), sodium chloride (NaCl), and water (H2O). This method is effective for generating small amounts of nitrogen gas and is a straightforward approach for laboratory settings.
