To dry ammonia gas the drying agent used is
- A con(c)\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\)
- B \(\mathrm{P}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}\)
- C soda lime
- D anhydrous \(\mathrm{CaCl}_{2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) soda lime
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) (ammonia) gas is dried by using sodalime, because \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) itself is basic in nature and only basic compound can be used to dry \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\), while conc. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\), anhy. \(\mathrm{CaCl}_{2}\) and…
