The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "NH₄Cl, NH₄NO₃, and (NH₄)₂CO₃ on heating gives NH₃ gas" is true or false, we will analyze each compound separately. ### Step 1: Analyze NH₄Cl (Ammonium Chloride) - When ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) is heated, it decomposes to form ammonia gas (NH₃) and hydrogen chloride (HCl). **Reaction:** \[ NH_4Cl \rightarrow NH_3 + HCl \] **Hint:** Look for the products formed during the decomposition of ammonium chloride. ### Step 2: Analyze NH₄NO₃ (Ammonium Nitrate) - When ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) is heated, it decomposes to form nitrous oxide (N₂O) and water (H₂O), but it does not produce ammonia gas (NH₃). **Reaction:** \[ NH_4NO_3 \rightarrow N_2O + 2H_2O \] **Hint:** Check the products of ammonium nitrate decomposition to see if ammonia is formed. ### Step 3: Analyze (NH₄)₂CO₃ (Ammonium Carbonate) - When ammonium carbonate ((NH₄)₂CO₃) is heated, it decomposes to produce ammonia gas (NH₃), water (H₂O), and carbon dioxide (CO₂). **Reaction:** \[ (NH_4)_2CO_3 \rightarrow 2NH_3 + H_2O + CO_2 \] **Hint:** Look for the decomposition products of ammonium carbonate to confirm if ammonia is released. ### Conclusion - From the analysis: - NH₄Cl gives NH₃. - NH₄NO₃ does not give NH₃. - (NH₄)₂CO₃ gives NH₃. Thus, the statement "NH₄Cl, NH₄NO₃, and (NH₄)₂CO₃ on heating gives NH₃ gas" is **False** because only NH₄Cl and (NH₄)₂CO₃ produce ammonia gas upon heating, while NH₄NO₃ does not. ### Final Answer: False
