Open in App

Solution

Reaction of chlorine with excess of ammonia $({NH}_{3})$ :
Ammonia gas and pure chlorine gas $({Cl}_{2})$ may react violently.
Ammonium chloride $({NH}_{4} Cl)$ is generated when there is an excess of ammonia and nitrogen $(N_{2})$ is liberated.
The balanced chemical equation is:
$8 {NH}_{3} (g) + 3 {Cl}_{2} (g) ⟶ 6 {NH}_{4} Cl (s) + N_{2} (g) ↑$
