A Correct answer
Explanation

This reaction is 

(a) reversible,

 (b) exothermic, and 

(c) proceeds with a decrease in volume.

According to the Le Chatelier's principle, the favorable conditions for the formation of ammonia are,

Low temperature

The temperature should be remain as low as possible, (although at unusually low temperatures, the rate of reaction becomes slow). It has been found that the temperature, which optimizes the yield of ammonia for the reaction, is maximum at about 500°C.

High pressure

Since Haber's process proceeds with a decrease in volume, it is favored by high pressure. In actual practice, a pressure of 200 - 900 atmospheres is employed.

$NH _3$ can't be obtained by :

  1. heating of $NH _4NO _3$ or $NH _4NO _2$
  2. heating $NH _3CI$ or $(NH _4) _2CO _3$
  3. heating of $NH _4NO _3$ with $NaOH$
  4. reaction of $AIN$ or $Mg _3N _2$ or $CaCN _2$ with $H _2O$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Reactions are:
$NH _4NO _3\rightarrow N _2O+H _2O$
$NH _4NO _2\rightarrow N _2+H _2O$
$NH _4Cl\rightarrow NH _3+HCl$
$NH _4NO _3 (aq) + NaOH(s)\rightarrow NH _3(g) +H _2O (l)+ NaNO _3(aq)$
$CaCN _2+3H _2O\rightarrow CaCO _3+NH _3$

$NH _4CI(s)$ is heated in a test tube, vapours are brought in contact with red litmus paper, which changes to blue and then to red. it is because of : 

  1. formation of $NH _4OH$ and $HCI$
  2. formation of $NH _3$ and $HCI$
  3. greater diffusion of $NH _3$ than $HCI$
  4. grater diffusion of $HCI$ than $NH _3$

C Correct answer
Explanation

$NH _4Cl\xrightarrow{\Delta} NH _3+HCl$
First HCl reacts with red litmus and converts it into blue but as diffusion of ammonia is high so after that ammonia reacts with blue litmus and converts back to red.
