Question

Is ammonia denser than air? Which property of ammonia is demonstrated by the Fountain experiment? Write the balanced equation for the reaction between ammonia and sulphuric acid.
Short Note

Solution

Ammonia (vapour density (V.D)= 8.5) is less dense than air (vapour density (V.D.)= 14.4) and so is lighter than air.

Fountain experiment proves that ammonia is highly soluble in water.

The balanced equation for the reaction between ammonia and sulphuric acid is 

\[\ce{2NH3 + H2SO4 -> (NH4)2SO4}\]
