No, ammonia (NH3) is a covalent compound, while lime (CaO) is an ionic compound. Covalent compounds form when nonmetals combine, sharing electrons to achieve stability. Ionic compounds form when a metal and a nonmetal combine, transferring electrons to achieve stability.

What is the purpose of soda lime in the detection of nitrogen in nitrogen containing compounds?

Soda lime is used to detect the presence of nitrogen in nitrogen-containing compounds through a process called the Kjeldahl method. It is used to absorb the evolved ammonia gas during the digestion of the sample, which is then released by heating the soda lime and can be quantitatively determined. This method helps in determining the nitrogen content in organic compounds.
