CHEMISTRY SUMMARY

08. AMMONIA. 2023 – 24.

➢ Scope:
o Laboratory preparation of ammonia from ammonium chloride, from
nitrides like Mg3N2 & AlN & ammonium salts & its collection.
o Industrial manufacture by Haber’s process.
o Properties: Density, solubility of ammonia [Fountain experiment];
Aqueous solution reactions, reaction with hydrogen chloride & with
hot copper [II] oxide & chlorine; burning of Ammonia in oxygen.
o Uses of ammonia.

➢ Ammonia: Alkaline air.

➢ Occurrence: Occurs naturally in urine, decomposition of organic matter,


small quantities in atmospheric air and natural waters.

➢ Chemical Properties:
1. Combustibility Non-combustible nor a supporter of combustion.
Ammonia with oxygen undergoes burning and catalytic oxidation.
Burning Green or greenish yellow
4NH3 + 3O2 → flame.
2N2 + 6H2O

Catalytic oxidation Colourless NO gives reddish


𝑃𝑡, 800℃ brown NO2.
4NH3 + 5O2 →
4NO + 6H2O Pt emits reddish glow.
Pt continuous to glow after the
heating is discontinued as the
reaction is exothermic.

3. Basic Nature. - An aqueous solution of ammonia is basic in nature.


- Dry ammonia gas or liquid ammonia is neutral to dry litmus.
- Ammonia when added to water ionizes water to H+, OH-
- Formation of OH- gives ammonia its basic nature.
- NH3 + H2O → NH4OH ; NH4OH ⇌ NH4+ + OH−
- Liquor ammonia/ liquor ammonia fortis a weak base, as it undergoes partial
dissociation to give hydroxyl ions [OH1-] in low concentration.
a. Neutralization NH3 neutralize acids to give salt / salt & water.
NH3 + HCl → NH4Cl
NH3 + HNO3 → NH4NO3
2NH3 + H2SO4 → (NH4)2SO4
NH4OH + HCl → NH4Cl + H2O
NH4OH + HNO3 → NH4NO3 + H2O
2NH4OH + H2SO4 → (NH4)2SO4 + 2H2O

given at the end) [CuSO4 + (NH4)2SO4 + 2NH4OH → [Cu(NH3)4]SO4 + gives deep
4H2O] inky blue
solution
The precipitates formed are hydroxides of distinctive colour and nature hence
ammonium hydroxide is used in quantitative analysis for identifying cations.

4. Reducing 1.Ammonia reduces heated metallic
Action oxides to metals:
2NH3 + 3CuO → 3Cu + 3H2O + N2
2NH3 + 3PbO → 3Pb + 3H2O + N2
Observation:
1. Black CuO to pink Cu
2. Buff yellow PbO to grey Pb
2.Ammonia reduces Cl2: Observation:
8NH3 (excess) + 3Cl2 → 6NH4Cl + N2 NH3 – Colourless gas
NH3 + 3Cl2 (excess) → 3HCl + NCl3 Cl2 – Greenish yellow gas
NH3 is oxidized by a metal oxide [CuO, PbO] NCl3 – Yellow explosive liquid
and by a gas chlorine. NH4Cl – Dense white fumes.
5. Thermal ∆ On heating ammonium chloride
NH4Cl → NH3 + HCl
dissociation Reversible reaction undergoes thermal dissociation to
form ammonia and HCl.
