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

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Reaction:
$NH _4NO _3\rightarrow N _2O+2H _2O$
$NH _4Cl\rightarrow NH _3+HCl$
$(NH _4) _2CO _3\rightarrow 2 NH _3 + H _2O + CO _2$

Which of the following is/are correct?

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

  1. Hydrolysis of $NCl _3$ gives $NH _3$ and $HClO$

  2. $NH _3$ is less stable than $PH _3$

  3. $NH _3$ is a weak reducing agent compared to $PH _3$

  4. Nitric oxide is paramagnetic

Show answer
Correct Option: A,C,D
Explanation:

A) $NCl _3$ is hydrolyzed by hot water to release ammonia and hypochlorous acid.
 $NCl _3 + 3H _2O\rightarrow NH _3 + 3HOCl$

B)  $NH _3$ is less stable than $PH _3$, because $NH _3$ is more stable than $PH _3$ due to inter molecular hydrogen bonding.
C) $NH _3$ is a weak reducing agent compared to $PH _3$, because from $NH _3$ to $PH _3$ reducing nature increases down the group.
D) Nitric oxide is paramagnetic, because it is having unpaired electrons.
Hence, options A,C & D are correct.

Ammonia is not a product in the :

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

  1. hydrolysis of nitrolim

  2. hydrolysis of aluminium nitride

  3. decomposition of ammonium nitrite

  4. hydrolysis of urea

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$NH _3NO _3\rightarrow N _2O+2H _2O$
Nitrous oxide is produced after decomposition of ammonium nitrite instead of ammonia.

 Which compound does not give ammonia gas on reaction with water ?

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

  1. $ \mathrm{M}\mathrm{g} _{3}\mathrm{N} _{2}$

  2. $ \mathrm{A}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{N}$

  3. $\mathrm{C}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{N} _{2}$

  4. $\mathrm{C}\mathrm{a}(\mathrm{C}\mathrm{N}) _{2}$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
$Mg _3N _2 + 6H _2O \longrightarrow3Mg(OH) _2 + 2NH _3$

$AlN + 3H _2O \longrightarrow NH _3 + Al(OH) _3$

$2H _2O + Ca(CN) _2 \longrightarrow Ca(OH) _2 + 2HCN$

$CaCN _{2} + 3H _{2}O\longrightarrow$ $CaCO _{3} + 2NH _{3}$

$Ca(CN) _2$ does not produce ammonia on reacting with water.

Explanation:

Promoter enhances the activity of catalyst (here iron), and because of which potassium and aluminium oxides are used as promoter in Haber's process.

Assertion (A): A mixture of $CaCN _2$ and graphite is known as nitration mixture.
Reason (R) : $NH _3$ is collected by downward displacement of air.

  1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

  2. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

  3. (A) is true and (R) is false

  4. (A) is false but (R) is true

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$HNO _{3}+H _{2}SO _{4}$ is known as nitration mixture. So, A is wrong.
$NH _{3}$ is collected by downward displacement of air as $NH _{3}$ is lighter than air.
