Multiple choice chemistry nitrogen and sulfur ammonia and fertilizers preparation of ammonia-laboratory method and haber's process ammonia

A solution of colorless salt H on boiling with excess NaOH produces a non-flammable gas. The gas evolution ceases after sometime upon addition of Zn dust to the same solution, the gas evolution restarts. The colourless salt(s) H is(are) :

  1. $NH _4NO _3$
  2. $NH _4NO _2$
  3. $NH _4Cl$
  4. $(NH _4) _2SO _4$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B Correct answer
Explanation
Option (A), (B) are correct.
The colorless salt H is either $NH _4NO _3$ or $NH _4NO _2$. The colorless salt produces $NH _3$ gas (non-inflammable) on boiling with excess of $NaOH$. On addition of zinc dust (a reducing agent) to this solution, sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate will liberate $NH _3$ gas again.
 
$NH _4NO _3+ NaOH \longrightarrow NH _3+NaNO _3+H _2O$
$7NaOH+NaNO _3+4Zn\longrightarrow 4Na _2ZnO _2+NH _3+2H _2O$

$NH _4NO _2+NaOH \longrightarrow NaNO _2+NH _3+H _2O$
$3Zn+5NaOH+NaNO _2 \longrightarrow 3Na _2ZnO _2+NH _3$

In Haber process 30 litres of dihydrogen and 30 litres of dinitrogen were taken for reaction which yielded only 50% of the expected product. What will be the composition of gaseous mixture under the aforesaid condition in the end?

  1. 20 litres ammonia. 20 litres nitrogen, 20 litres hydrogen

  2. 10 litres ammonia, 25 litres nitrogen, 15 litres hydrogen

  3. 20 litres ammonia, 10 litres nitrogen, 30 litres hydrogen

  4. 20 litres ammonia, 25 litres nitrogen, 15 litres hydrogen
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The reaction is N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3. With 30L of each, H2 is the limiting reagent. Theoretical yield is 20L of NH3. At 50% yield, 10L of NH3 is produced. This consumes 5L of N2 and 15L of H2. Remaining: 25L N2, 15L H2, 10L NH3.

Industrially, ammonia is obtained by direct combination between nitrogen and hydrogen. The formation of ammonia is promoted at:

  1. 1000 atm

  2. 200 atm

  3. 25 atm

  4. 1 atm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Ammonia is prepared industrially by Haber's process.

In this process, dinitrogen directly reacts with Dihydrogen in $1:3$ in presence of iron catalyst with promoters as oxides of potassium or aluminium.
The physical conditions required for this process are $200-300$ atm pressure and $400-450^0C$ temperature.

How is ammonia collected?

  1. Ammonia is less dense than air so it is collected by upward delivery.

  2. Ammonia is more dense than air so it is collected by upward delivery.

  3. Ammonia is more dense than air so it is collected by downward delivery.

  4. None of the above.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Ammonia is less dense than air so it is collected by upward delivery or gas syringe method.
In upward delivery method a gas jar is connected by a tube to flask that is giving off gas. The gas that is less dense than air rises to the top of gas jar. The air in the gas jar is displaced until the gas jar is filled with collected gas. Ammonia is very soluble gas so the collection apparatus should be dry and not collected over water.
