(a) Of the two gases, ammonia and hydrogen chloride, which is more dense ? Name the method of collection of this gas.
(b) Give one example of a reaction between the above two gases which produces a solid compound.
(c) Write a balanced equation for a reaction in which ammonia is oxidized by :
(i) a metal oxide,
(ii) a gas which is not oxygen.
(a) HCl gas is more dense [V.D.=18.25, V.D. of ammonia = 8.5] and it is collected by
the upward displacement of air.
(b) It forms to yield a solid aqueous Ammonium chloride salt.
NH3+HCl⟶NH4Cl
(c) Balanced equation:
(a) 2NH3+3CuO⟶3Cu+3H2O+N2
(b) 2NH3+3Cl2⟶N2+6HCl
