Ammonium dichromate, (NH4)2Cr2O7, decomposes when heated to produce chromium(III) oxide [Cr2O3], nitrogen gas, and water vapor:
(NH4)2Cr2O7(s) --> Cr2O3(s) + N2(g) + 4H2O(g)
While the ammonium dichromate decomposes, it gives off orange sparks and throws the green chromium(III) oxide crystals into the air, producing an effect that looks like a miniature volcanic eruption.
The chromium(III) oxide crystals that are produced are "fluffier" than the original ammonium dichromate crystals, and even though a lot of the mass of the starting materials escapes as vapor, the product looks like a larger amount of material.

What happens to ammonium chloride when heated?
when ammonium chloride is heated its particles get converted into gaseous state i.e vapours of ammonium chloride due to sublimation.
What does ammonium hydroxide silver nitrate and glucose do when heated?
produce silver
How do you Convert ammonium nitrate to anhydrous ammonia?
since ammonium nitrate decomposes on heating so ammonium nitrate is covered with excess of calcium hydroxide with some water and then heated to get ammonia
If ammonium chloride and sand under goes sublimationwhich solid sublimes?
If ammonium chloride and sand are heated or undergo sublimation, ammonium chloride being a sublimable substance sublimes and sand is left behind as the residue.
What compounds are formed when caco3 is heated strongly?
CaCO3 --> CO2 + CaO
What can be heated to obtain nitrogen?
Either ammonium nitrite or ammonium dichromate can he heated to obtain nitrogen gas.
When heated what happens to ammonium chloride mixed with water in the tube?
nothing happens. it becomes an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride
What happens when methane is heated strongly?
It burns.
What happens when bases are strongly heated?
It forms soap.
What happens when Ferrous Sulphate is heated strongly?
2FeSo4--->Fe2O3+So2+So3
What happens when ammonium chloride solution is heated with caustic soda solution?
ammonia should release on heating.
What happens to ammonium chloride when heated?
when ammonium chloride is heated its particles get converted into gaseous state i.e vapours of ammonium chloride due to sublimation.
What physical change happens to atoms and molecules in a solution that is strongly heated in a flame?
The solvent is vaporized.
What happens to the particles in a liquid when they are heated?
The particles in a liguid are bonded (not as strongly as a solid which is why it flows.) when it is heated the particles vibrate and eventually the bonds break and the particles break away. This is evaporation.
What happens when sodium hydroxide is added to ammonium chloride and heated?
Ammonia gas will be evolved. The chemical reaction is :NH4Cl + NaOH --> NH3 (g) + NaCl + H2O
What is obtained when natural gas is strongly heated?
when natural gas is strongly heated, hydrogen(H) and carbon(C) are obtained.
What is the gas formed when ammonium salt is heated with an alkali?
carbon
