Question

Different samples are given to students to test in chemistry lab examination. Thomas has to test to identify ammonium chloride and sodium chloride. Which process can help him to identify ammonium chloride?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

When Ammonium Chloride(NH4Cl) is heated at high temperature, it sublimes and gives rise to white coloured dense fumes. Later, these fumes condense to form a powdered white substance on the cool areas of the test tube. But, Sodium Chloride(NaCl) does not give rise to any white coloured fumes upon heating.
