Answer

(a)

Cu(OH)2+(NH4)2SO4+2NH4OH[(Cu(NH3)4]SO4Tetraamminecopper (II) sulphate+4H2O\text{Cu(OH)}2 + (\text{NH}4)2\text{SO}4 + 2\text{NH}4\text{OH} \longrightarrow \underset{\underset{\text{copper (II) sulphate}}{\text{Tetraammine}}}{[(\text{Cu(NH}3)4]\text{SO}4} + 4\text{H}_2\text{O}

(b)

CH4 methane+Cl2diffused sunlightΔCH3Clmonochloromethane+HCl\underset{\text{ methane} }{\text{CH}4} + \text{Cl}2 \underset{\Delta}{\xrightarrow{\text{diffused sunlight}}} \underset{\text{monochloromethane}}{\text{CH}_3\text{Cl}} + \text{HCl}
