Prepare Ammonia gas in Laboratory science 8 to 12

18 . To prepare ammonia gas in the laboratory and study its properties.

AIM : To prepare ammonia gas in the laboratory and study its properties

THEORY : On heating a mixture of ammonium chloride and calcium hydroxide, we get ammonium gas.

APPARATUS : Big hard glass tube, delivery tube, hollow glass tube, Bunsen burner, glass rod, two single-holed rubber cork, four to five gas jar with lids, stand and one CaO bottle as shown in the figure.

CHEMICALS : Calcium hydroxide, ammonium chloride, concentrated hydrochloric acid, red and blue litmus papers.
Prepare Ammonia Gas in Laboratory 
Observation
Colour of ammonia gas :
Odour or smell of ammonia gas :
Ammonia gas is collected by downhard displacement of air therefore it is than air.
Use moist red and blue litmus papers and check the effect on ammonia gas.

Conclude :
Wet red litmus :
Wet blue litmus :

Conclusion : What happens when a glass rod is dipped in concentrated HCL is brought near the mouth of gas jar containing ammonia ?
