Answer
(a) Ammonia solution turns moist red litmus blue. Whereas, hydrogen chloride gas turns moist blue litmus red.
(b) On adding bromine water, unsaturated compound decolourises bromine water due to addition reaction across the double or triple bond. However, saturated compound shows no reaction. So, there is no change in colour.
(c) Add a few drops of aqueous NaOH:
- Ferrous chloride gives a dirty-green precipitate of ferrous hydroxide, Fe(OH)2, which soon turns brown on standing.
- Ferric chloride gives a reddish-brown precipitate of ferric hydroxide, Fe(OH)3.
