Solution:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Explanation of Solution
a)Molecular oxygen
Molecular oxygen (
b)Ammonia
The most common industrial method of preparing ammonia is through Haber’s process. The chemical equation for Haber’s process is given as follows:
On a commercial scale, it can also be prepared by using the saltammonium chloride. The reaction is as follows:
c) Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is found abundantly in the atmosphere. For industrial purposes, it can be prepared by using calcium carbonate. The reaction is as follows:
It can also be prepared by reacting calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid as follows:
