Chemistry Study of Compounds Answers

Question 1:

a)
i. c. P2O5
ii. a. Oxidizing agents
iii. a.NH4OH
b)
i. High solubility of Ammonia gas in water
ii. High latent heat of vaporization and superior thermodynamic qualities
iii. Nessler's reagent

Question 2:

a)
i. Na2S2O3 + 2HCL  2NaCl + H2O + SO2 + S (down arrow)
ii. Pb (NO3)2 + 2HCl  PbCl2 (down arrow) + 2HNo3
iii. PbO + NH3  3Pb + N2 + 3H2O
iv. AlN + 3H2O  Al(OH)3 + NH3
v. 4NH3+ 3O2  2N2+ 6H2O
vi. NH3 + 3Cl2 (excess)  3HCl + NCl3
vii. MnO2 + 4HCl  MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2

Question 3:

a)
i. In the preparation of ammonia, the round bottom flask is in the tilted or slanted
position. This is done in order to prevent the water formed during the reaction to trickle
back into the heated flask and crack the whole tube.
ii. An inverted funnel is placed in the collecting water flask. This arrangement prevents the
back suction of water and provides large surface area for the maximum absorption of
HCl gas.
b)
i. H2S
ii. NH3
iii. CO2
iv. H2

Question 4:

a)
i. When ammonia gas is passed through CuSO4 solution, blue precipitative of cupric
hydroxide is obtained. Which dissolved in excesss of ammonia gas and produces deep
blue color.
 ii. When hydrochloric acid is added to silver nitrate solution a white precipitate is obtained
which is soluble in excess of Ammonium hydroxide solution.
iii. When dil. HCl is added to lead nitrate solution and heated, it forms a white precipitate
of lead chloride.
iv. Ammonia burns with a yellowish green flame producing water vapor and nitrogen.
b)
i. Hydrogen chloride gas is prepared by treating Sodium chloride with concentrated
sulphuric acid. The HCl gas is passed through a drying agent to remove moisture where
concentrated sulphuric acid plays the role of dehydrating agent as well.
ii. Sulphur plays the role of the drying agent and drys the gas produced which has some
moisture content.

Question 5:

a)
i. Not there
ii. The catalyst used in Haber process is Fe and promoter is the Mo.
iii. In the Haber process, nitrogen and hydrogen react together under these conditions:
a high temperature - about 450C.
b high pressure.
c. an iron catalyst.
N2 + 3H2  2NH3
iv. Not there
b)
i. Ammonium Ion and Hydroxide Ion
ii. High Solubility
iii. When gaseous ammonia is passed over solid copper(II)oxide at high temperatures,
nitrogen gas is formed.
iv. The platinum continues to glow even after the heating is discontinued since the catalytic
oxidation of ammonia is exothermic
v. The RB flask appears reddish because Reddish brown vapors of nitrogen dioxide are
seen in the flask due to the oxidation of nitric oxide.
