Solution

Chemical properties of Ammonia:
Reduction: The process of removal of oxygen from any substance is known as reduction.
The reaction of Ammonia with oxides: Ammonia reduces oxides to give metals, water vapor and Nitrogen.
Example: Ammonia $({NH}_{3})$ reduces Copper oxide $(CuO)$ to Copper $(Cu)$ and it gets oxidized to Nitrogen $(N_{2})$ .
$2 {NH}_{3} (g) + 3 CuO (s) \to 3 Cu (s) + 3 H_{2} O (l) + N_{2} (g)$
So when Ammonia is oxidized with copper oxide it gives Nitrogen.
