  1. ${Na NO _3}$

  2. ${Na NO _2}$

  3. ${Na NH _2}$

  4. ${Na _3N}$

Show answer
Correct Option: C,D
Explanation:

Reactions:
$Na _3N+ 3H _2O \rightarrow 3NaOH + NH _3$
$H _2O+NaNO _3\rightarrow H _2O+NaOH+NO$
$NaNH _2+H _2O(hot) \rightarrow NaOH + NH _3$
$NaNO _2 + H _2O \rightarrow HNO _2 + NaOH$

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

Show answer
Correct Option: B
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?

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

  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.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
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.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$NH _3$ is manufactured by Haber's process.
