Answer:
Ammonia gas(an alkaline gas with characteristics of choking or irritating smell) is not liberated when 6mole of HCl is added to the solution instead of 6mole of NaOH, to test for the presence of ammonium ion in the solution
Explanation:
As expected, when testing for ammonium ion in a solution (precisely ammonium salt solution), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is required as the test reagent.
When NaOH is added to the solution, A gas with characteristics of choking or irritating smell is liberated.
This gas turn red litmus paper blue.
This liberated gas is an alkaline gas, which is confirmed as an ammonia gas(NH3).
If HCl is added instead of NaOH, the ammonia gas will not be liberated, which indicates that the test reagent used is wrong.
Answer:
C. number of particles
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of disorderliness of a system. Remember that when you dissolve salt in water, you increase the number of particles in the solution. The greater the number of particles in solution, the greater the entropy of the solution system.
Hence dissolution of a salt in water increases the entropy by increasing the number of particles in solution leading to the inequality; Ssolution > Swater + Ssalt.
That is a steep slope for sure, no doubt about it. Hope this helps!
