Question

Properties of one gas is given below. Identify the gas.
(1) It is produced by Haber's process.
(2) It possesses very intensive smell, causing irritation in the nose and eyes.
(3) It is highly soluble in water.
(4) Its aqueous solution acts as a weak base.

• A. $S{O}_2$
• B. $H_2$
• C. $N_{2}O$
• D. $N{H}_3$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $N{H}_3$

The gas with given properties is ammonia ($N{H}_3$). $S{O}_2$ is aidic in nature whereas $H_2$ and $N_{2}O$ are neutral.

Here ammonia acts as a weak base as it can donate a pair of electrons.
