MEDIUM

State one relevant observation for of the following:

Lead nitrate solution is treated with sodium hydroxide solution dropwise till it is in excess.

EASY
What colour is formed in the reaction of ammonia with Nessler’s reagent? 
EASY

Distinguish between the following pair of compounds using the reagent given in the bracket.

Ferrous sulphate solution and ferric sulphate solution. (using sodium hydroxide solution)

EASY
When ammonia gas is passed through Nessler's solution the colour becomes-
HARD
X KOH Y (gas turns red litmus blue) + Z Zn + KOH Y (gas) .

X Δ gas (does not support combustion)

Identify (X) to (Z):
EASY
Alkaline solution of mercuric iodide is known as Nessler's reagent.
EASY
When ammonia gas is passed through Nessler's solution the colour becomes-
HARD
A colourless water soluble solid 'X' on heating gives equimolar quantities of Y and Z. Y gives dense white fumes with HCl and Z does so with NH3. Y gives brown precipitate with Nessler's reagent and Z gives white precipitate with nitrates of Ag+, Pb2+ and Hg22+. 'X' is :
EASY
Alkaline solution of mercuric iodide is known as Nessler's reagent.
HARD
A white crystalline solid 'A' on boiling with caustic soda solution gives a gas 'B' which on passing through an alkaline solution of potassium tetraiodomercurate (II) solution gives a brown ppt. The substance 'A' on heating evolves a neutral gas 'C', which is inert at room temperature and reactive in the presence of catalyst and does not give brown fumes with nitric acid oxide.

The gas 'C' is
MEDIUM
In Nessler's reagent for the detection of ammonia, the active species is:
MEDIUM
When an ammonium salt is warmed with a sodium hydroxide solution, ammonia gas is evolved. State three ways in which you could identify this gas.
HARD

A compound (A) on heating with an excess of caustic soda solution liberates a gas (B) which gives white fumes on exposure of HCl. The resultant alkaline solution thus obtained after heating again liberates the same gas (B) when heated with zinc powder. Compound (A) on heating alone gives a neutral oxide of nitrogen not nitrogen gas. Choose the correct statement from the following:
