Ammonia can be obtained from diammonium tetraoxosulphate \((\mathrm{VI})\) by heating it with ____________
A. dilute \(\mathrm{HCl}\) B. con \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) C. \(\mathrm{CuSO}_4\) D. \(\mathrm{NaOH}\)
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Ammonia can be obtained by heating any ammonium salt with a base. \begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{SO}_4+2 \mathrm{NaOH} \underset{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4+2 \mathrm{NH}_3+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \\ \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2 \underset{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CaCl}_2+2 \mathrm{NH}_3+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \end{array}
