Ammonia and HCL Question and Answers icse board



Q.1. (i) How is ammonia collected? Why is ammonia not collected over water
(ii) Which compound is normally used as a drying agent for ammonia ?
Solution:
(i) (a) Ammonia gas is lighter than air and hence collected by the downward displacement of air.[V.D. of NH3 = 8.5, V.D. of air = 14.4]
(b) Ammonia is not collected over water since it is highly soluble in water.
[1 vol. of water dissolves about 702 vol. at 20 ºC and 1 atmos. pressure].
(ii) Quicklime [CaO]. (iii) Quicklime [CaO].
Q.2. (i) What is the purpose of Haber’s Process.
(ii) Name the gaseous inputs of the Haber’s process and state the ratio by volume in which the gases are mixed.
(iii) What is done to increase the rate of the reaction in the Haber’s Process.
(iv) Give two different ways by which the product can be separated from the reactant.
(v) Write the equation for the reaction in the Haber’s Process that forms ammonia.
(vi) State the purpose of liquefying the ammonia produced in the process.
Solution:
(i) Manufacture of Ammonia.
(ii) Nitrogen [N2] and Hydrogen [H2] in the ratio 1:3 by volume.
(iii) Temperature is kept low and pressure high.
(iv) (a) Liquefaction – Ammonia is easily liquefied and hence separated from nitrogen and hydrogen. (b) Dissolving in water – Ammonia is highly soluble in water and hence separated from nitrogen and hydrogen.
(v) N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3 + Δ.
(vi) Ammonia is easily liquefied while nitrogen and hydrogen are not easily separated. Hence ammonia is separated from nitrogen and hydrogen.
(vii) N2 + 3H2 → 2 NH3 + Δ.
Ratio of nitrogen and hydrogen is taken as 1:3. Temperature is kept 450-500ºC and pressure at 200 to 900 atmos. Catalyst iron with promoter molybdenum is used.

Q.3. (i) Write equation for the following:
(a) Burning of ammonia in oxygen (b) Catlytic oxidation of ammonia. What do you observe in (a)? Name the catalyst used in (b). In the reaction referred to in (b), the catalyst glows red hot. Why? What is the name of the industrial process which starts with the reaction referred to in .
Solution:
(i) (a) 4NH3 + 3O2 → 2N2 + 6H2O.
                            Pt
(b) 4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O + Δ .
                          800ºC 
Observation – Dry ammonia does not burn when passed through ignited tube. When ammonia is passed through ignited tube with a passage of oxygen, ammonia burns with a greenish yellow flame forming nitrogen and water. 
Catalyst – Catalyst used is Platinum. The catalyst glows since the catalytic oxidation of ammonia is an exothermic reaction.
The industrial process is known as ‘Ostwald’s Process’ for the manufacture of Nitric Acid.

Q.4. (i) Name a simple method you would employ to prepare ammonium salts in your laboratory.  
(ii) What property of ammonia is demonstrated by the Fountain Experiment. Write the balanced equation for the reaction between ammonia and sulphuric acid.

(a) Ammonium chloride is a soluble salt prepared by ______ (precipitation, neutralization).
(b) When ammonium chloride is heated, it undergoes thermal ______ (decomposition / dissociation).
(iv) Name a gas whose solution in water is alkaline.
(v) Name the ion other than ammonium ion formed when ammonia dissolves in water.
(vi) Select the correct compound from the list given – Ammonia, Copper oxide, Copper sulphate, Hydrogen chloride, Hydrogen sulphide, Lead bromide – which matches the description given below:
Although this compound is not a metal hydroxide, its aqueous solution is alkaline in nature.    
      
Solution:
(i) Neutralization : Ammonia in the gaseous form or in aqueous solution [NH4OH] neutralizes acids forming the respective ammonium salts.
(ii) Fountain Experiment demonstrate the high solubility of ammonia gas in water.
2NH3 + H2SO4 → (NH4)2SO4.
(iii)(a) neutralization.
NH4OH + HCl → NH4Cl + H2O
(b) dissociation.
(iv) Ammonia.
(v) Hydroxyl ion [OH ]
(vi) Ammonia
Q.5. (i) Write the equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid with manganese (IV) oxide.
(ii)Name the lead compound that can be used to oxidize hydrogen chloride to chlorine.

(v) Select the correct compound from the list – Ammonia, Copper oxide, Copper sulphate, Hydrogen chloride, Hydrogen sulphide, Lead bromide – which matches with the description given below : This compound can be oxidized to chlorine. 

Solution:
(i) MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2.
(ii) Lead dioxide (PbO2) and Red lead (Pb3O4).
(iii) (a) They are oxidizing agent.
(b) Pb3O4 + 8HCl → 3PbCl2 + 4H2O + Cl2
(iv) MnO2 + 4HCl → MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2.
(v) Hydrogen chloride.

Q6.  Hydrogen chloride dissolves in water forming an acidic solution. Give three distinct tests [apart from using an indicator] you would carry out with this solution to illustrate the typical properties of an acid.
(ii) (a) Hydrochloric acid reacts with active metals to liberate a colourless and odourless gas which burns with a popping sound liberating hydrogen gas.
Mg + 2HCl (dil.) → MgCl2 + H2
(b) Dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with metallic carbonate and bicarbonate to liberate a colourless and odourless gas with brisk effervescence which turns lime water milky i.e. CO2.
Na2CO3 + 2HCl (dil.) → 2NaCl + H2O + CO2 
Confirmatory test :
Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O.
(c) Dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with metallic sulphite and bisulphate to liberate a colourless gas having smell of burning Sulphur which turns acidified potassium dichromate paper from orange to green and potassium permanganate solution from purple to colourless.
Na2SO3 + 2HCl (dil.) → 2NaCl + H2O + SO2
Q7.  Write the equation for the equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid with lead nitrate solution.
Sol. When dilute HCl is added to lead nitrate solution a white precipitate soluble in hot water but insoluble in cold water is formed.

2NaCl + H2SO4 (Conc.) → Na2SO4 + 2HCl ↑
