The correct answer is option 4.

Concept:

Decomposition Reactions: A chemical decomposes into two or more simpler compounds during a decomposition reaction. 

Redox Reactions: One or more elements undergo a change in their redox state during a redox (reduction–oxidation) reaction.
  • These reactions usually involve the exchange of electrons between different chemical entities.
 

Explanation:

All three reactions produce nitrogen gas (N2):
 
  1. (NH4)2Cr2O7 → N2 + 4H2O + Cr2O3
  2. Ba(N3)2 → Ba + 3N2
  3. 2NH3 + 3CuO → N2 + 3Cu + 3H2O

  • Nitrogen is transformed from a chemical form into nitrogen gas in each of these processes.
  • The heat breakdown of ammonium dichromate is the first reaction.
  • The breakdown of barium azide is the second; and the reaction of ammonia with copper oxide is the third.
