Ammonia is a Lewis base. It forms complexes with cations. Which one of the following cations does not form complex with ammonia?

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

  1. Ag$^{+}$

  2. Cu$^{2+}$

  3. Cd$^{2+}$

  4. Pb$^{2+}$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Ammonia is a Lewis base. It forms complexes with cations of transition elements. $Pb^{2+}$ does not form a complex with ammonia as lead ($Pb$) is not a transition element. Lead ($Pb$) is a p - block element.

Hence option D is correct.

$-{ NH } _{ 2 }$ group shows acidic nature while reacts with this reagent:

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

  1. $Na$

  2. ${ CS } _{ 2 }$

  3. ${ Br } _{ 2 }+NaOH$

  4. water

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A compound shows acidic nature if the opposite atom or compound of the bond shows basic character. Sodium is a metal and it is basic in nature. $-NH _2$ shows acidic character when it reacts with sodium.

 Liquor ammonia bottles are opened only after cooling. This is because:

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

  1. It is a mild explosive

  2. It is a corrosive liquid

  3. It is a lachrymatory

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Liquor ammonia has a mild explosive property, so, the bottle are opened only after cooling

The formula of Ammonium Sulphate is:

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

  1. $N{H} _{4}S{O} _{4}$

  2. ${(N{H} _{4})} _{2}S{O} _{4}$

  3. $N{H} _{4}{(S{O} _{4})} _{2}$

  4. $N{H} _{2}{(S{O} _{4})} _{2}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ammonium sulfate is made by treating ammonia, often as a by-product from coke oven, with sulfuric acid: 

$2 NH _3$ + $H _2SO _4 \rightarrow$   $(NH _4) _2SO _4$
Option "B" is correct.
