Solution :Hydrated FERRIC chloride `(FeCl_3-6H_2O)` is obtained by the action of hydrochloride acid on ferric oxide.
(1) Stannous chloride is a powerful reducing agent. When an excess of stannous chloride solution is added to MERCURIC chloride solution, a white precipitate of mercurous chloride appears which slowly turns grey as further reduction to mercury occurs:
`SnCl_2+2HgCl_2rarrHg_2Cl_2darr+SnCl_4`
`Hg_2Cl_2+SnCl_2rarr2Hg_2darr+SnCl_4`
(2) Cuprous iodie is precipitated as a BUFF solid when POTASSIUM iodide solution is added to the solution of cupric ions (e.g. copper sulphate solution):
`2CuSO_4+2Klrarr2CuIdarr+I_2+2K_2SO_4`
This reaction is used for estimating copper salts volumetrically by titrating the liberated iodine with standard SODIUM thiosulphate solution.
(3) `NaOH` is a stronger base than `NH_3`, and thus, diplaces it from its salt:
`NH_4Cl+NaOHrarrNaCl+underset(NH_3+H_2O)underset(darr)(NH_4OH)`

Answer»

<P>Dry `O_(2)`
A MIXTURE of `O_(2)andN_(2)`
Moist `O_(2)`
`O_(2)` in the presence of aqueous NaOH

Solution :`P_(4)+3O_(2)OVERSET(O_(2)+N_(2))toP_(4)O_(6)`
`N_(2)` prevents further OXIDATION of `P_(4)O_(6)" to "P_(4)O_(10)`.
