Question

When chlorine reacts with excess of ammonia, X and nitrogen are formed. When excess of chlorine reacts with ammonia, Y and hydrogen chloride are formed. Identify X and Y.

Options

• NH₄Cl, NCl₃

• NCl₃, NH₄Cl

• HCl, NCl₃

• HCI, N₂

Answer 1

NH₄Cl, NCl₃

Explanation:

\[\ce{\underset{(Excess)}{8NH3} + 3Cl2 -> 6NH4Cl + N2}\]

\[\ce{NH3 + \underset{(Excess)}{3Cl2} -> NCl3 + 3HCl}\]
