The 3rd reaction doesn't involve D2O ... it is just the reaction between (Ammonium salt) NDH3Cl + (alkali) NaOD ... so we have only 2 D atoms now, but we actually need 3 D atoms to produce ND3 ...
so probably sth like ND2H or sth is produced instead, but that doesn't matter.
What do you mean?Then how is 2 correct?

which year is this from?
Which mixtures, on heating, produce the gas ND3?
[D = H 2
1 , an isotope of hydrogen]
1 CaO(s) and ND4Cl(s)
2 CH3CN and NaOD in D2O
3 NDH3Cl and NaOD in D2O

So D is like H so we can suppose NDH3Cl as NH4Cl so wouldnt reaction 3 also liberate ammonia?The Ms says only 1,2 are correct.

I honestly have no idea ... examiners have twisted brains! genius, yes, but twisted.
Can you explain these:
40 Fats and grease that build up on pans used in cooking are esters. Pans which are dirty from fats
or grease may be cleaned by heating them with a reagent that will react with the ester group.
What may be used to clean such pans by this reaction?
1 vinegar - aqueous ethanoic acid, CH3CO2H
2 alcohol - ethanol, C2H5OH
3 baking powder - sodium hydrogencarbonate, NaHCO3

The products obtained by cracking an alkane, X, are methane, ethene and propene. The mole fraction of ethene in the products is 0.5. What is the identity of X?

A C6H14
B C8H18
C C9H20
D C11H24

Correct answer is B.

Please help! O/N 2005 p1 question 12

One mole of magnesium, aluminium, and sulphur are each completely burnt in an excess of oxygen gas. Which graph shows the moles of oxygen used in each case?
Answer is D but when i worked the equations out, I got
Mg + 1/2 O2 -> MgO
Al + 3/4 O2 -> 1/2 Al2O3
S + O2 -> SO2

And i noticed that there is a difference of 0.25 between each so i assumed it's a direct proportion hence my answer was A ( a lineat graph). However the answer is D. Please help!
