Multiple choice chemistry nitrogen and sulfur ammonia-properties and uses ammonia compounds of nitrogen - ammonia

The two ions which are formed when ammonia dissolves in water are ammonium ion and ___________ .

  1. ${ OH }^{ - }$
  2. ${ H _3O }^{ + }$
  3. ${ H }^{ +}$
  4. ${ O }^{ -2 }$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Ammonia readily dissolves in water with the liberation of heat. The ions which are formed are ammonium ion and hydroxyl ion. The aqueous solution of ammonia is ammonium hydroxide.
$ { NH } _{ 3 }+{ H } _{ 2 }O\rightleftharpoons { NH } _{ 4 }^{ + }+{ OH }^{ - }$

Give balanced equation for reaction in which $NH _3$ is oxidized by a gas which is not oxygen.

  1. $8{ NH } _{ 3 }+{ 3Cl } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 6{ NH } _{ 4 }Cl+2{ N } _{ 2 }$
  2. $4{ NH } _{ 3 }+{ 3Cl } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 3{ NH } _{ 4 }Cl+{ N } _{ 2 }$
  3. $8{ NH } _{ 3 }+{ 3Cl } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 6{ NH } _{ 4 }Cl+{ N } _{ 2 }$

  4. None of these

C Correct answer
Explanation

Ammonia is oxidised by chlorine gas.
$8{ NH } _{ 3 }+{ 3Cl } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 6{ NH } _{ 4 }Cl+{ N } _{ 2 }$

Give a balanced reaction in which ammonia is oxidised by a metal oxide.

  1. ${ 4NH } _{ 3 }+3CuO\rightarrow 2{ N } _{ 2 }+{ 3H } _{ 2 }O+3Cu$
  2. ${ 2NH } _{ 3 }+4CuO\rightarrow { N } _{ 2 }+{ 3H } _{ 2 }O+4Cu$
  3. ${ 2NH } _{ 3 }+CuO\rightarrow { N } _{ 2 }+{ 3H } _{ 2 }O+Cu$
  4. ${ 2NH } _{ 3 }+3CuO\rightarrow { N } _{ 2 }+{ 3H } _{ 2 }O+3Cu$

D Correct answer
Explanation

${ 2NH } _{ 3 }+3CuO\rightarrow { N } _{ 2 }+{ 3H } _{ 2 }O+3Cu$

Multiple choice chemistry nitrogen and sulfur ammonia-properties and uses ammonia compounds of nitrogen - ammonia

Which of the following does not react with $AgCl$?

  1. $Na _{2}S _{2}O _{3}$
  2. $NH _{4}OH$
  3. $NaNO _{3}$
  4. $NH _{3}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$AgCl+2NH _{4}OH\rightarrow \left [ Ag(NH _{3}) _{2} \right ]Cl+2H _{2}O$
$AgCl+2Na _{2}S _{2}O _{3}\rightarrow NaCl+Na _{3}\left [ Ag(S _{2}O _{3}) _{2} \right ]$
$AgCl+NH _{3}\rightarrow \left [ Ag(NH _{3}) _{2} \right ]Cl$
So, only $NaNO _{3}$ does not react with AgCl.

The bottles of liquid ammonia are opened after cooling them in ice for sometime. It is because liquid ammonia :

  1. has high vapour pressure at room temperature

  2. is corrosive liquid

  3. is an explosive

  4. brings tears in eyes
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Liquid ammonia has hydrogen bonding which results in high vapour pressure at room temperature.


The vapour pressure of ammonia at room temperature is very high and hence the ammonia will evaporate unless the vapour pressure is decreased. 

Cooling decreases the vapour pressure so that the liquid remains in the same state. Hence, the bottle is cooled before opening.

Option A is correct.

Which of the following would lose weight when exposed to the atmosphere?

  1. Concentrated ${H} _{2}{SO} _{4}$
  2. Anhydrous ${Na} _{2}{CO} _{3}$
  3. Solid $NaOH$

  4. A saturated solution of ammonia in water
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

${ NH } _{ 3 }$ is highly soluble in water.

Solution of ammonia in water is called liquor ammonia.
Liquor ammonia is highly volatile in nature and has a high latent heat of evaporation.
Hence, it will lose weight when exposed to atmosphere.

Liquid ammonia is a fuel for:

  1. motorcar

  2. aeroplane

  3. monorial

  4. rocket
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Hydrogen is good fuel. $1$ mole of ammonia has more hydrogen than hydrogen fuel. It burns to give water and nitrogen. 

$NH _3$ is used as a fuel in rockets due to its high energy density.

It is a carbon-free fuel which is combined with liquid oxygen in rockets fuel tanks.

Another advantage is that due to its strong, pungent odour, they can be easily identified in case of fuel leakage.

Hence, option D is correct.

The ion or group detected by $K _2[HgI _4]$ is:

  1. NO
  2. $Cl^-$
  3. $NH^{-2}$
  4. $NH _3$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

${ K } _{ 2 }[Hg{ I } _{ 4 }]$ ( potassium mercuric iodide) is known as nesseler's reagent.

It is used for the detection of ammonia.
The reaction taking place is:
$2{ K } _{ 2 }[Hg{ I } _{ 4 }]+3KOH+{ NH } _{ 3 }\rightarrow [{ OHg } _{ 2 }.{ NH } _{ 2 }]I+7KI+2{ H } _{ 2 }O$
The colour of nesseler's reagent changes to brown in basic medium.
