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

When $Na$ reacts with liquid $NH _3$ the following substance is formed: 

  1. $[Na(NH _3) _x]^- $
  2. $ [e(NH _3 ) _y]^-$
  3. $NaNH _2$
  4. $Na _xNH _{3y}$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Sodium (Na) dissolves in liquid ammonia ($NH _3$) solution to form a blue colored solution characteristic of a solvated electron in liquid ammonia which is conducting in nature due to presence of solvated electrons.

Reaction is  $ Na + (x+y)NH _3\rightarrow Na(NH _3) _x + (e(NH _3) _y)^-$
So B is correct answer.

When excess of ammonia is used:


 $3Cl _2+8NH _3$$\longrightarrow$$A+B$

When excess of chlorine is used:

$3Cl _2+4NH _3$$\longrightarrow$$C+D$

The oxidation state of nitrogen in compound $D$ is:

  1. $0$
  2. $+3$
  3. $-3$
  4. $+1$

B Correct answer
Explanation

When excess chlorine reacts with ammonia (3Cl2 + 4NH3), the products are nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) and HCl. In NCl3, nitrogen is bonded to three more electronegative chlorine atoms, giving nitrogen an oxidation state of +3.

An alkaline earth metal $(M)$ dissolves in liquid ammonia forming a deep blue-black solution. The reaction involved is:

  1. $M + 2NH _{3} \rightarrow M(NH _{2}) _{2} + H _{2}$
  2. $M + xNH _{3} \rightarrow [M(NH _{3}) _{x}]$
  3. $M + 2NH _{4}OH \rightarrow M(OH) _{2} + 2NH _{3}$
  4. $M + (x + 2y) NH _{3}\rightarrow [M(NH _{3}) _{x}]^{2+} + 2[e(NH _{3}) _{y}]^{-}$. (e represents electron)

D Correct answer
Explanation

An alkaline earth metal $(M)$ dissolves in liquid ammonia forming a deep blue-black solution. The reaction involved is $M + (x + 2y) NH _{3}\rightarrow [M(NH _{3}) _{x}]^{2+} + 2[e(NH _{3}) _{y}]^{-}$ (e represents electron).
An alkaline earth metal $(M)$ will lose two electrons to form $M^{2+}$ ions.
$M \rightarrow M^{2+}+2e^-$
Both $M^{2+}$ ions and electrons are solvated (surrounded by ammonia molecules to form $[M(NH _{3}) _{x}]^{2+} + 2[e(NH _{3}) _{y}]^{-}$).

Select the correct options about the solubility of the following species in $ H _2O$ and $ NH _3 $(aq).
$AgF, AgCN, AgCl, Agl, CaF _2, CaCl _2 $ :

  1. $AgF$ and $CaCl _2 $ are soluble in $H _2O$
  2. $AgCN$ and $AgCl$ are soluble in $NH _3$
  3. $AgI$ and $CaF _2$ are soluble in $ H _2O $ and $ NH _3 $ (aq) both

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B Correct answer
Explanation

A. $AgF$ and $CaCl _2$ are polar compounds. Hence, they are soluble in water which is a polar solvent. Thus, the option A is correct.

B. $AgCN$ and $AgCl$ form complexes with ammonia as ammonia is a very good ligand. Hence, $AgCN$ and $AgCl$ are soluble in ammonia. Thus, the option B is correct.

C. $CaF _2$ and $AgI$ are insoluble in water. Thus, the option C is incorrect.
