The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided, we will break down the reasoning behind each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 **Statement 1**: Moistened ammonium salts give the smell of NH₃. - Ammonium salts, such as ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl), can release ammonia (NH₃) when they are moistened. - When ammonium salts are rubbed or heated, they can dissociate into ammonia gas and an acid (like HCl in the case of NH₄Cl). - The smell of ammonia is noticeable because NH₃ is a volatile compound that can easily evaporate into the air. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: This statement is true because the dissociation of moistened ammonium salts produces ammonia, which has a characteristic smell. ### Step 2: Understanding Statement 2 **Statement 2**: Ammonium salts give NH₃ on heating with concentrated NaOH. - When ammonium salts are heated with concentrated sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a chemical reaction occurs. - For example, when ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) is heated with NaOH, the reaction can be represented as: \[ NH₄Cl + NaOH \rightarrow NH₃ + NaCl + H₂O \] - This reaction shows that ammonia is indeed produced when ammonium salts react with concentrated NaOH. **Conclusion for Statement 2**: This statement is also true because heating ammonium salts with concentrated NaOH results in the formation of ammonia gas. ### Step 3: Relationship Between the Statements - Both statements are true independently. However, they do not directly explain each other. - Statement 1 describes the smell of ammonia from moistened ammonium salts, while Statement 2 describes the production of ammonia when ammonium salts are heated with NaOH. ### Final Conclusion - Both statements are true, but Statement 2 does not serve as a correct explanation for Statement 1. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1.
