The dissolution of ammonia gas in water does not obey Henry's law. On dissolving, a major portion of ammonia molecules reacts with ${H} _{2}O$ to form ${NH} _{4}OH$ molecules. ${NH} _{4}OH$ again dissociates into ${NH} _{4}^{+}$ and ${OH}^{-}$ ions. In solution therefore, we have ${NH} _{3}$ molecules, ${NH} _{4}OH$ molecules and ${NH} _{4}^{+}$ ions and the following equilibrium exist:

${NH} _{3}(g)$ $ \rightleftharpoons{NH} _{3}(l)+{H} _{2}O{(l)}\rightleftharpoons  {NH} _{4}OH{(aq)}\rightleftharpoons  {NH} _{4}^{+}{(aq)}+{OH}^{-}{(aq)}$

Let, ${c} _{1}$ ${(mol/L)}$ of ${NH} _{3}$ pass in liquid state which on dissolution in water forms ${c} _{2}$ ${(mol/L)}$ of ${NH} _{4}OH$. The solution contains ${c} _{3}$ ${(mol/L)}$ of ${NH} _{4}^{+}$ ions.

Concentration of undissociated ammonium hydroxide is________.
  1. ${c} _{1}+{c} _{2}$

  2. ${c} _{2}-{c} _{3}$

  3. ${c} _{1}+{c} _{3}$

  4. ${c} _{1}-{c} _{2}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

${NH} _{3}(g)$$\rightleftharpoons {NH} _{3}(l)+{H} _{2}O\rightleftharpoons  {NH} _{4}OH\rightleftharpoons  {NH} _{4}^{+}+{OH}^{-}$

$c _1$                                                $c _2$                $c _3$
So, remaining moles of undissociated ammonium hydroxide, $NH _4OH=  c _2-c _3$

  4. The $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ formed has a stable configuration of 8 electrons


Correct Option: B,C,D
Explanation:

$NH _{3} + HCl \rightarrow NH _{4}Cl$
Ammonia donate its lone pair of electron $HCl$ which will produce $NH _4^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions. Chlorine atom gains one electron and forms chloride ion which has a stable 8 electron configuration in its outermost shell.

The atomic weight of zinc is $65.4$. The volume of dry hydrogen at NTP liberated by treating $6.54\ g$ of zinc with dilute sulphuric acid would be:

  1. $22.4$ litres

  2. $11.2$ litres

  3. $2.24$ litres

  4. $1.12$ litres


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$Zn+H _2SO _4 \rightarrow ZnSO _4+H _2$

The volume of 1 mol of gas at N.T.P. is 22.4 litres. Moles of zinc used is equal to moles of hydrogen liberated.
Moles of zinc used is $\dfrac{6.54}{65.4}$=0.1 mol
Thus volume of hydrogen formed is $ 0.1 \times 22.4$=$2.24$ litres

  2. anhydrous $CaO$

  3. ${ P } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 5 }$

  4. $CuS{ O } _{ 4 }$


Correct Option: A,C
Explanation:

Because ammonia and water will form some amount of ammonium hydroxide, $N{ H } _{ 4 }OH$. The hydroxide will react with the acid ${ H }^{ + }$ ions from the acid and forms water. Addition of an acid to even a mild base like $N{ H } _{ 4 }OH$ is counter-productive to drying.

Identify the probable products for the reaction of $N{ H } _{ 3 }$ with ${ Cl } _{ 2 }$.

  1. ${ N } _{ 2 }$ and $N{ H } _{ 4 }Cl$

  2. $N{ Cl } _{ 3 }$ and $HCl$

$NH _3$ gas is liquefied more easily than $N _2$. Hence:

  1. vander Waals' constants a and b of $NH _3$ > that of $N _2$

  2. vander Waals' constants a and b of $NH _3$ < that of $N _2$

  3. $a(NH _3)$ > $a(N _2)$ but $b(NH _3)$ < $b(N _2)$

  4. $a(NH _3)$ < $a(N _2)$ but $b(NH _3)$ > $b(N _2)$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • In vander Wall's equation of state, the constant 'a' provides a correction for the intermolecular forces. Constant 'b' is a correction for finite molecular size and its value is the volume of one mole of the atoms or molecules.
  • For a gas which is easily liquifiable value of 'a' will be more and value of 'b'  will be less.
  • Hence in the question it is given that $NH _3$ is liquefied more easilt than $N _2$ and hence $a(NH _3)>a(N _2)$ but $b(NH _3)<b(N _2)$.

  1. $45$ kJ

  2. $250$ kJ

  3. $36$ kJ

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The molecular weights of $\displaystyle NH _3$ and $\displaystyle O _2$ are 17 g/mol and 32 g/mol respectively.
3.4 g $\displaystyle NH _3 = \dfrac {3.4 \ g}{ 17 \ g/mol}=0.2 \ mol$
6.4 g $\displaystyle O _2= \dfrac {6.4 \ g}{32 \ g/mol}=0.2 \ mol$
0.2 moles of $\displaystyle O _2$ will react with $\displaystyle 0.2 \times \dfrac {4}{5}=0.16$ moles of $\displaystyle NH _3$. But 0.2 moles of
$\displaystyle NH _3$ are present. Hence, $\displaystyle O _2$ is the limiting reagent and $\displaystyle NH _3$ is excess reagent.

When 5 moles of $\displaystyle O _2$ react, the heat released is 900 kJ.
When 0.2 moles of $\displaystyle O _2$ react, the heat released will be
$\displaystyle 900 \ kJ \times \dfrac { 0.2}{5}=36 \ kJ$.

Ammonia, $NH _3$ and hydrazine, $NH _2NH _2$, are two compounds of nitrogen, $N _2$. Which statement is correct?

  1. The N-N bond in $NH _2NH _2$ is polar

  2. $NH _3$ and $NH _2NH _2$ have lone pairs of electrons but $N _2$ does not

  3. The oxidation number of each nitrogen in $NH _2NH _2$ is $+2$

  4. The reaction of nitrogen with hydrogen has a high activation energy


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Solution:- (D) The reaction of nitrogen with hydrogen has high activation energy.


The $N-N$ bond in $N{H} _{2} N{H} _{2}$ is a non-polar bond because $N$ and $N$ have the same electronegativity value.

${N} _{2}$ also has a lone pair of electron on each nitrogen atom.

The oxidation number of each hydrogen in $N{H} _{2}N{H} _{2}$ is $+1$, thus the oxidation number of each nitrogen in $N{H} _{2}N{H} _{2}$ is $-2$.

Due to high bond energy, the reaction of nitrogen with hydrogen has high activation energy.

Hence statement $\left( D \right)$ is correct.

An alkaline earth metal $(M)$ dissolves in liquid ammonia forming a deep blue-black solution. The reaction involved is:

  1. $M + 2NH _{3} \rightarrow M(NH _{2}) _{2} + H _{2}$

  2. $M + xNH _{3} \rightarrow [M(NH _{3}) _{x}]$

  3. $M + 2NH _{4}OH \rightarrow M(OH) _{2} + 2NH _{3}$

  4. $M + (x + 2y) NH _{3}\rightarrow [M(NH _{3}) _{x}]^{2+} + 2[e(NH _{3}) _{y}]^{-}$. (e represents electron)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An alkaline earth metal $(M)$ dissolves in liquid ammonia forming a deep blue-black solution. The reaction involved is $M + (x + 2y) NH _{3}\rightarrow [M(NH _{3}) _{x}]^{2+} + 2[e(NH _{3}) _{y}]^{-}$ (e represents electron).
An alkaline earth metal $(M)$ will lose two electrons to form $M^{2+}$ ions.
$M \rightarrow M^{2+}+2e^-$
Both $M^{2+}$ ions and electrons are solvated (surrounded by ammonia molecules to form $[M(NH _{3}) _{x}]^{2+} + 2[e(NH _{3}) _{y}]^{-}$).

Select the correct options about the solubility of the following species in $ H _2O$ and $ NH _3 $(aq).
$AgF, AgCN, AgCl, Agl, CaF _2, CaCl _2 $ :

  1. $AgF$ and $CaCl _2 $ are soluble in $H _2O$

  2. $AgCN$ and $AgCl$ are soluble in $NH _3$

  3. $AgI$ and $CaF _2$ are soluble in $ H _2O $ and $ NH _3 $ (aq) both

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

A. $AgF$ and $CaCl _2$ are polar compounds. Hence, they are soluble in water which is a polar solvent. Thus, the option A is correct.

B. $AgCN$ and $AgCl$ form complexes with ammonia as ammonia is a very good ligand. Hence, $AgCN$ and $AgCl$ are soluble in ammonia. Thus, the option B is correct.

C. $CaF _2$ and $AgI$ are insoluble in water. Thus, the option C is incorrect.

Which has the highest $pK _b$ value ?

  1. $R _3N$

  2. $R _2NH$

  3. $RNH _2$

  4. $NH _3$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ammonia is a weak base so it has pK value of 4. So the order of basicity is ammonia<primary<tertiary amines <secondary amines. This order depends on steric hindrance. The size of alkyl group is more than that of hydrogen atom. So alkyl group hinders the attack of hydrogen atom and decreases the basicity of molecule. So more the number of alkyl groups lesser will be its basicity.

Which of the following forms hydrogen bond?

  1. $\displaystyle { CH } _{ 4 }$

  2. $\displaystyle { CO } _{ 2 }$

  3. $\displaystyle { NH } _{ 3 }$

  4. $\displaystyle { N } _{ 2 }$

  5. $\displaystyle { O } _{ 2 }$


Correct Option: C

Statement 1: $NH _{3}$ can be best collected by water displacement.

Statement 2: $NH _{3}$ is a polar substance.

  1. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1

  2. Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1

  3. Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is not correct

  4. Statement 1 is not correct but Statement 2 is correct

  5. Both the Statement 1 and Statement 2 are not correct


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen can be collected by water displacement because they are only slightly soluble in water. But hydrogen chloride or ammonia can not be separated since both are very highly soluble in water and will react to form hydrochloric acid or ammonium hydroxide respectively so statement 1 is not true.

$NH _3$ is a polar substance so statement 2 is correct.

When excess of ammonia is used:


 $3Cl _2+8NH _3$$\longrightarrow$$A+B$
