(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical equation for the reaction of bleach and ammonia needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
Bleach is sodium hypochlorite which can decolorize many colored solutions.
(a)
Answer to Problem 4E
The reaction of bleach and ammonia is somewhat like a double decomposition reaction.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction is represented as follows:
In this reaction, Cl of NaOCl is substituted by H of NH3. As a result, NH2Cl is produced which is a gas along with NaOH.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reaction of bleach and ammonia must be explained.
Concept Introduction :
The reaction between bleach and ammonia produces a gas.
(b)
Answer to Problem 4E
In the reaction of bleach and ammonia effervescence is expected to be observed due to the evolution of NH2Cl which is a gas.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction is represented as follows:
As seen from the reaction, reactants are all liquid. One of the products (NH2Cl) is gas which will be observed during the reaction as effervescence.
