yes it does (sort of, see below) other substances which sublime include dry ice(solid carbon dioxide), iodine, and naphthalene(substance found in mothballs).

In the case of ammonium chloride, however, hydrogen chloride is driven off by the heat to give a mixture of gaseous ammonia and hydrogen chlroide. Condensation of the volatile acid and base regenerates ammonium chloride, so the process is actually a pseudosublimation.

What is the observations on decomposition of ammonium chloride in an open container?

Ammonium chloride appears to sublime but in this process solid NH4Cl actually (chemical) decomposition into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas is involved. NH4Clsolid → NH3,gas + HCl,gas


To separate mixture of naphthalene and ammonium chloride by sublimation?

Sublimation is a process where a solid directly turns into a gas without going through the liquid stage. To separate naphthalene and ammonium chloride by sublimation, heat can be applied to turn naphthalene into a gas, leaving ammonium chloride behind as it does not sublimate. The gas can then be collected and cooled back into a solid.


What is the difference between ammonium nitrate and ammonium chloride?

Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound composed of ammonium and nitrate ions, commonly used as a fertilizer and in explosives. Ammonium chloride is also a chemical compound composed of ammonium and chloride ions, used in various industrial applications and as a food additive. The key difference lies in the anion present: nitrate in ammonium nitrate and chloride in ammonium chloride.


What is the process of separating ammonium chloride from ammonium chloride and sodium chloride?

To separate ammonium chloride from a mixture of ammonium chloride and sodium chloride, you can dissolve the mixture in water to form a solution. Then, heat the solution to evaporate the water, leaving behind solid ammonium chloride due to its lower melting point compared to sodium chloride. This process is known as crystallization.


What is the element found in the ammonium chloride?

Well, there are a few elements in ammonium chloride: NH4Cl * Nitrogen * Hydrogen * Chlorine

Is NH4Cl sublime?

Yes, ammonium chloride can sublime.


Can ammonium chloride sublime from room temp?

Yes, ammonium chloride can sublime at room temperature. Sublimation is the process in which a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. Ammonium chloride has a relatively low sublimation temperature, allowing it to sublime easily at room temperature.


Do all ammonium compounds sublime?

No, not all ammonium compounds sublime. The ability of an ammonium compound to sublime depends on its specific chemical properties, such as its volatility and stability under heating. Some ammonium compounds do sublime, like ammonium chloride, but others may decompose or melt before sublimation can occur.


Which separating technique is suitable for ammonium chloride and sodium chloride?

Sublimation - on gentle heating ammonium chloride will sublime. Sodium Chloride does not and has a high melting point.


How do you separate ammonium chloride from a mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride?

To separate ammonium chloride from a mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride, you can use the process of sublimation. Ammonium chloride sublimes at a lower temperature compared to potassium chloride. By heating the mixture, the ammonium chloride will directly change from a solid to a gas, leaving behind the potassium chloride. The resulting gas can be condensed back into solid form for collection.


What would happen if sodium chloride is taken instead of ammonium chloride during sublimation of ammonium chloride?

The experiment will not work because sodium chloride does not sublime. Ammonium chloride appears to sublime upon heating. However, this process is actually decomposition into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas. NH4Cl + heat → NH3 + HCl (Wikipedia)


What is the name for NH4Cl?

NH4Cl is ammonium chloride.


How can you separate a mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride?

A mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride can be separated using the process of sublimation. You must also note that both these substances are sublimable. Well this technique is quite feasible in this case as the sublimable temperatures of ammonium and potassium chloride differ widely. Between the two, ammonium chloride has lower sublimable temperature. Therefore, it sublimes first followed by potassium chloride.


How can you separate a mixture of naphthalene and ammonium chloride?

One way is to slurry the solid mixture with water. The ammonium chloride will dissolve and the naphthalene will not. Ammonium chloride can then be recovered by evaporating the water solution of it that is formed.


Does sodium chloride sublime or melt?
