Solution

Three compounds (NH4)2CO3, NH4Cl and (NH4)2SO4, liberate NH3 on heating.
(NH4)2CO3heat2NH3+H2O+CO2
NH4ClheatNH3+HCl
(NH4)2SO4 cannot be used for the preparation of ammonia as ammonia reacts with sulphuric acid (dehydrating agent).
2NH3+H2SO4(NH4)2SO4
(NH4)2Cr2O7 on heating liberates nitrogen.
(NH4)2Cr2O7heatN2+Cr2O3(Green)+4H2O
NH4NO3 on heating forms ammonium nitrate.
NH4NO3heatN2O+2H2O
