प्रश्न
Explain the following observation.
Liquid ammonia bottle is cooled before opening the seal
Advertisements
उत्तर
Liquid ammonia bottle contains the gas under very high pressure. If the bottle is opened as such, then the sudden decrease in pressure will lead to a large increase in the volume of the gas. As a result, the gas will come out of the bottle all of a sudden with force. This will lead to the breakage of the bottle and also causes an accident.
However, if the bottle is cooled under tap water for some time, there will be a decrease in the volume of a gas to a large extent. if the seal is opened now, the gas will come out of the bottle at a slower rate, reduces the chances of an accident.
