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

Some of the reasons of reacting $NH _{3}$ with hydrogen chloride are given below. Pick up the correct statement(s) from the following.

  1. The nitrogen atom of $\mathrm{N}\mathrm{H} _{3}$ gains electrons
  2. $\mathrm{N}\mathrm{H} _{3}$ can give a pair of electron
  3. $\mathrm{A}$ proton in $\mathrm{H}\mathrm{Cl}$ can accept an electron pair from $\mathrm{N}\mathrm{H} _3$
  4. The $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ formed has a stable configuration of 8 electrons

B,C,D Correct answer
Explanation

$NH _{3} + HCl \rightarrow NH _{4}Cl$
Ammonia donate its lone pair of electron $HCl$ which will produce $NH _4^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions. Chlorine atom gains one electron and forms chloride ion which has a stable 8 electron configuration in its outermost shell.

The atomic weight of zinc is $65.4$. The volume of dry hydrogen at NTP liberated by treating $6.54\ g$ of zinc with dilute sulphuric acid would be:

  1. $22.4$ litres
  2. $11.2$ litres
  3. $2.24$ litres
  4. $1.12$ litres
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$Zn+H _2SO _4 \rightarrow ZnSO _4+H _2$

The volume of 1 mol of gas at N.T.P. is 22.4 litres. Moles of zinc used is equal to moles of hydrogen liberated.
Moles of zinc used is $\dfrac{6.54}{65.4}$=0.1 mol
Thus volume of hydrogen formed is $ 0.1 \times 22.4$=$2.24$ litres

A gas which is colourless, soluble in water and gives white fumes with $HCl$ is :

  1. nitrogen

  2. chlorine

  3. ammonia

  4. argon
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Ammonia is a colourless gas and is highly soluble in water. 

It is alkaline in nature turning red litmus blue.
The reaction of ${ NH } _{ 3 }$with $HCl$ ;
${ NH } _{ 3 }\quad +\quad HCl\quad \rightarrow \quad N{ H } _{ 4 }Cl\quad $
We get the white fumes of ammonium chloride.

Ammonia is dried over:

  1. slaked lime
  2. conc. $H _2SO _4$

  3. quick lime
  4. $BaCl _2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
-Ammonia is basic.Hence it can be dried by a basic agent .
So, $CaO$ can be used to dry $NH _3$.
-Slaked lime cannot be used to dry $NH _3$, But dry $Ca$$\left( OH \right) _{ 2 }$ can be used to dry $NH _3$.
-Concentrated $H _2SO _4$ react with $NH _3$ and cannot be used to dry it.
-$BaCl _2$ absorbs $NH _3$ and form $BaCl _2$$.$ $4NH _3$, hence it cannot be used to dry $NH _3$

Statement 1: When HCl gas and $NH _3$ gas come into contact, a white smoke forms.
Statement 2: $NH _3$ and HCl react to form a white solid, ammonium chlorate.

  1. <p>Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.</p>

  2. <p>Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.</p>

  3. <p>Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is not correct.</p>

  4. <p>Statement 1 is not correct but Statement 2 is correct.</p>

  5. <p>Both the Statement 1 and Statement 2 are not correct.</p>

Which of the following substance cannot be decomposed chemically?

  1. Ammonia

  2. Tellurium

  3. Methane

  4. Water

  5. Lunch
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Tellurium $Te$ is an element which can not be further decomposed. Elements are chemically the simplest substances and hence, cannot be broken down using chemical methods. But Ammonia, methane and water are compounds that can be decomposed further into their elements. Lunch is mixture of compounds that can also be decomposed chemically.

Ammonia gas on passing through copper sulphate solution gives deep blue solution.

  1. True

  2. False

A Correct answer
Explanation

A blue precipitate of cupric hydroxide initially appears which on the addition of excess ammonia dissolves to form a deep blue solution having the tetraamminecopper(II) ion ${ \left[ Cu{ (N{ H } _{ 3 }) } _{ 4 } \right]  }^{ 2+ }$.

Ammonia reacts with excess of chlorine to form :

  1. ${ N } _{ 2 }+N{ H } _{ 4 }Cl$
  2. $N{ Cl } _{ 3 }$ and $HCl$
  3. $N{ H } _{ 4 }Cl$ and $N{ Cl } _{ 3 }$
  4. ${ N } _{ 2 }$ and $HCl$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Pure chlorine gas may react vigorously with ammonia gas. An excessive mix of the two gases in air can produce hazardous compounds such as nitrogen trichloride.

The following reaction takes place:

$N{ H } _{ 3 }+3{ Cl } _{ 2 }\longrightarrow N{ Cl } _{ 3 }+3HCl$

Ammonia reacts with excess of chlorine to form $ N{ Cl } _{ 3 } $ and $ HCl $.
