Give balanced equations for the reducing reactions of ammonia with

(i) copper (II) oxide,

(ii) lead (II) oxide,

(iii) chlorine using (a) excess NH3 (b) excess Cl2

Answer

(i) 2NH3 + 3CuO ⟶ 3Cu + 3H2O + N2 [g]

(ii) 2NH3 + 3PbO ⟶ 3Pb + 3H2O + N2 [g]

(iii) (a) 8NH3 [excess] + 3Cl2 ⟶ 6NH4Cl + N2

(iii) (b) NH3 + 3Cl2 [excess] ⟶ 3HCl + NCl3
