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

Exam-ready answer 01 Mark

(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.
