Answer» For drying ammonia quick line (CaO) is used. `to` For drying ammonia conc. `H_(2)SO_(4),P_(4)O_(10)` and anhydrous `CaCl_(2)` cannot be used because they react with ammonia and forms `(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4),(NH_(4))_(3)PO_(4)` and `CaCl_(2).8NH_(3)` `H_(2)SO_(4)+2NH_(3)to(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)` `P_(4)O_(10)underset(H_(2)O)overset(NH_(3))to(NH_(4))_(3)PO_(4)`. `CaCl_(2)+8NH_(3)toCaCl_(3)8NH_(3)`. |
