Answer

(i) Ammonia — When a glass rod dipped in conc. HCl is brought near the gas, dense white fumes of ammonium chloride are formed.

(ii) Sulphur dioxide — Sulphur dioxide gas turns acidified potassium permanganate from pink to clear colourless and acidified potassium dichromate from orange to clear green.

(iii) Hydrogen chloride — Forms a curdy white ppt. on passage through AgNO3 solution. The precipitate dissolves in excess of NH4OH.

(iv) Chlorine — Chlorine turns moist blue litmus red and then bleaches it.

(v) Oxygen — Oxygen gas rekindles a glowing wooden splinter.

(iv) Hydrogen — Hydrogen gas burns with a 'pop' sound in air.

(b) Ammonia is a basic gas. It turns red litmus blue.

(c) Sulphur dioxide, Hydrogen chloride, Chlorine, Carbon dioxide.

(d) A is Chlorine and B is Sulphur dioxide.

(e) Water vapour

(i) Similarity in test of Cl2 and HCl — Forms a white ppt. on reaction with AgNO3 solution.

(ii) Similarity in test of SO2 and CO2 — Both turn lime water milky.
