$NH _3$ can't be obtained by :

  1. heating of $NH _4NO _3$ or $NH _4NO _2$

  2. heating $NH _3CI$ or $(NH _4) _2CO _3$

  3. heating of $NH _4NO _3$ with $NaOH$

  4. reaction of $AIN$ or $Mg _3N _2$ or $CaCN _2$ with $H _2O$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Reactions are:
$NH _4NO _3\rightarrow N _2O+H _2O$
$NH _4NO _2\rightarrow N _2+H _2O$
$NH _4Cl\rightarrow NH _3+HCl$
$NH _4NO _3 (aq) + NaOH(s)\rightarrow NH _3(g) +H _2O (l)+ NaNO _3(aq)$
$CaCN _2+3H _2O\rightarrow CaCO _3+NH _3$

$Fe^{2+}$ reduces $NH _2OH$ to : 

  1. $NH _3$

  2. $N _3H$

  3. $N _2H _4$

  4. $N _2$


Correct Option: A

Calcium cyanamide on treatment with steam produces :

  1. $NH _3+CaO$

  2. $NH _3+CaHCO$

  3. $NH _3+CaCO _3$

  4. $NH _3+Ca(OH) _2$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Reaction:
$CaCN _2+3H _2O\rightarrow CaCO _3+NH _3$

$NH _4CI(s)$ is heated in a test tube, vapours are brought in contact with red litmus paper, which changes to blue and then to red. it is because of : 

  1. formation of $NH _4OH$ and $HCI$

  2. formation of $NH _3$ and $HCI$

  3. greater diffusion of $NH _3$ than $HCI$

  4. grater diffusion of $HCI$ than $NH _3$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$NH _4Cl\xrightarrow{\Delta} NH _3+HCl$
First HCl reacts with red litmus and converts it into blue but as diffusion of ammonia is high so after that ammonia reacts with blue litmus and converts back to red.

$NH _4Cl, NH _4NO _3$ and $(NH _4) _2CO _3$ gives  $NH _3$ gas on heating.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Reaction:
$NH _4NO _3\rightarrow N _2O+2H _2O$
$NH _4Cl\rightarrow NH _3+HCl$
$(NH _4) _2CO _3\rightarrow 2 NH _3 + H _2O + CO _2$

Give the balanced reaction for the manufacture of the ammonia gas.

  1. $3{ N } _{ 2 }+3{ H } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 6{ NH } _{ 3 }$

  2. ${ N } _{ 2 }+3{ H } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 2{ NH } _{ 3 }$

  3. ${ N } _{ 2 }+3{ H } _{ 2 }\rightarrow { NH } _{ 3 }$

  4. ${ N } _{ 2 }+6{ H } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 4{ NH } _{ 3 }$
