It is a popular misconception that diffusion has occured (especially by my science teachers) but diffusion is far to slow to move ammonia from the front to the back of the room. What is occurring is that air currents are moving the smell of ammonia all around the room. There are always small air currents no matter how still the air in the room may seem. This is way way faster than diffusion.

What gas evolved in the test for nitrogen?

Ammonia gas is evolved in the test for nitrogen. This is usually detected by adding sodium hydroxide solution and observing the formation of a white precipitate.


What are the work environment for a science teacher?

A science teacher typically works in a school setting, such as a classroom or laboratory. The environment can vary depending on the school, but it often involves working with students, teaching lessons, conducting experiments, and grading assignments. Science teachers may also collaborate with other teachers and participate in professional development activities.


How many grams of hydrogen must react if the reaction needs to produce 63.5 grams of ammonia?

Assume all of the nitrogen reacts to form ammonia, and it is all in the gaseous state. 1 N2 + 3 H2 --> 2 NH3. This means there are two moles of ammonia for every mole of N2., or 2 x 22.4 = 44.8 Liters of ammonia at STP for every 28 g of N2 So 56.0 g N2 will yield 89.6 L of ammonia gas. Your teacher probably wants the stoichiometry in the "railroad tracks", or "conversion factor" format where you start with the given, write a series of ratios that are all equal to 1, and multiply them together so all of the units drop out and you have the correct answer. This method will also help you catch your mistakes and solve many more difficult problems with ease (with a little practice). In this case: (56.0 g N2) x (1 mol N2/28g N2) X (2 mol NH3/1 mol N2) x (22.4 L NH3 at STP / mol NH3) = 89.6 L of ammonia gas at STP.


The original atmosphere on Earth consisted of which two gases?

i was taught by my amazing science teacher ..lol... that the 2 original gasses were methane and ammonia. hope this is a good enough answer. its as accurate as superman! :) -stachova witness


Is there a chemical reaction between aluminum nitrate and aqueous ammonia?

The possible reaction products are aluminum chloride and nitric acid. Going from a strong acid to a weak acid will drive a reaction, but both HCl and nitric acid are strong acids. Producing a precipitate will drive a reaction, but aluminum chloride is reasonably soluble. In short, there's no obvious reason for a metathesis reaction.
