Solution

  • Ammonia NH3 is a basic substance.
  • As a result, it interacts with sulfuric acid H2SO4 to generate ammonium sulfate NH42SO4 making it impossible to dry with sulfuric acid.
  • Reaction will be:
    2NH3(aq)+H2SO4(aq)(NH4)2SO4(aq)
  • Therefore, Ammonia gas cannot be dried by passing through concentrated sulfuric acid.
