1 If a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen is burnt in the air, what will be the major product formed?
water
ammonia
nitrogen monoxide
nitric acid

2 Ammonia gas can be easily prepared in the Laboratory by heating an ammonium compound with an alkali. But we do not use NH4NO3 in this case. Why?
This compound is expensive
It is explosive on heating
Very little ammonia will be given out
Toxic fumes will be given out other than ammonia

3 Ammonia is dried by
dilute hydrochloric acid
calcium oxide
anhydrous calcium chloride
concentrated sulphuric acid

4 A sample of fertilizer was warmed with aqueous sodium hydroxide and a gas was given out which turned the moisted red litmus paper to blue. This shows the gas
acidic and the fertilizer has an ammonium compound
alkaline and the fertilizer has a potassium compound
alkaline and the fertilizer has an ammonium compound
acidic and the fertilizer has a potassium compound

5 How can ammonia be produced?
1. heating ammonium carbonate
2. mixing equal mole of nitrogen and hydrogen gas
3. warming the concentrated ammonia solution
1 and 2
1 and 3
2 and 3
all the options

6 Nitrogenous fertilizers are often leached to the streams and rivers. This may lead to

1. increase in the level of nitrates in the drinking water
2. air pollution
3. growth of algae in the sea
1 and 2
1 and 3
2 and 3
all the options

Only one statement is true while the other is false.
Both statements are true and the 2nd one is a correct explanation of the 1st one.
Both statements are false.

9 1st statement : Barium sulphate may be used as a white paint additive.
2nd statement: Barium sulphate is a white compound which is insoluble in water.
Both statements are true but the 2nd one is not a correct explanation of the 1st one.
Only one statement is true while the other is false.
Both statements are true and the 2nd one is a correct explanation of the 1st one.
Both statements are false.
