Write the equation for the action of heat on :

(a) Ammonium chloride, (b) Ammonium nitrate.

State whether each reacton is an example of thermal decomposition or thermal dissociation.

Open in App

Solution

(a) Ammonium chloride
$N H_{4} C l ⟶ N H_{3} + H C l$

(b) Ammonium nitrate
$N H_{4} N O_{3} ⟶ N_{2} O + 2 H_{2} O$

Both are examples of Thermal dissociation.
