JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3ph190
Chlorine is passed into (i) excess aqueous ammonia and (ii) ammonia in the presence of excess chlorine. The main nitrogen-containing products are, respectively,
A(i) NClX3 and HCl; (ii) NX2 and NHX4Cl
B(i) NX2HX4 and HCl; (ii) NClX3 and HCl
C(i) NX2 and NHX4Cl; (ii) NClX3 and HCl
D(i) NX2 and NHX4Cl; (ii) NO and HCl
Answer: C
With excess ammonia: 8NHX3+3ClX26NHX4Cl+NX2. With excess chlorine: NHX3+3ClX2NClX3+3HCl. The ammonia-rich case gives NX2 because the ammonia absorbs the HCl formed.
