QQuestion
Ammonia gas is collected by downward displacement of air since ammonia is:
(a) Very slightly soluble in water
(b) Heavier than air
(c) Lighter than air
(d) Insoluble in water
Ammonia gas is collected by downward displacement of air since ammonia is:
(a) Very slightly soluble in water
(b) Heavier than air
(c) Lighter than air
(d) Insoluble in water
(c) Lighter than air
Explanation:
Ammonia gas is lighter than air and hence collected by the downward displacement of air. Ammonia is not collected over water since it is highly soluble in water.
