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.

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.

$N _2(g) + 3H _2(g)\overset{Fe+Mo}{\rightleftharpoons}2NH _3(g)$; Haber's process.

Mo is used as :

  1. a catalyst

  2. a catalytic promoter

  3. an oxidising agent

  4. a catalytic poison

B Correct answer
Explanation

$NH _3$ is manufactured by Haber's process.
$N _2(g) + 3H _2(g)\overset{Fe+Mb}{\rightleftharpoons}2NH _3(g)$
In this process, pure nitrogen and hydrogen gases react in the ratio of $1:3$ by volume in $400^0C-500^0C$ temperature, $200-900$ atm pressure in presence of iron as catalyst and Mo as promoter.

Pressure is increased in the Haber process for making ammonia. It favors :

  1. the reverse reaction

  2. the forward reaction

  3. neither reaction

  4. none

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Pressure is increased in the Haber process for making ammonia. It favors the forward reaction.
$\displaystyle N _2 + 3H _2 \rightarrow 2NH _3$
The reaction proceeds with decrease in the number of moles of gaseous species. With increase in pressure, the equilibrium shifts in forward direction with decrease in the number of moles of gaseous species so that, the effect of increased pressure is nullified.
