Question

Warming ammonium sulfate with sodium hydroxide solution gives ___ gas

Answer 1

• When Ammonium sulfate reacts with Sodium hydroxide, Sodium sulfate, Ammonia gas, and water are formed.
• The reaction involved is:

$\underset{\mathrm{Ammonium}\mathrm{sulfate}}{{(N{H}_4)}_{2}S{O}_4\left(s\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{hydroxide}}{2NaOH\left(aq\right)}⟶\underset{\mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{sulfate}}{N{a}_{2}S{O}_4\left(aq\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Ammonia}}{2N{H}_3\left(g\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}}{\mathit{2}{H}_{\mathit{2}}O\mathit{\left(}\mathit{l}\mathit{\right)}}$

Hence, warming Ammonium sulfate with Sodium hydroxide solution gives Ammonia gas.
