Answer
(i) 2NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2 ⟶ CaCl2 + 2H2O + 2NH3 [g]
(ii) As sulphuric acid reacts chemically with ammonia to form ammonium sulphate hence, it is not used as a drying agent for drying ammonia.
2NH3 + H2SO4 ⟶ (NH4)2SO4
(iii) As ammonia gas is highly soluble in water hence, it is not collected over water.
