Answer
(a) Magnesium reacts with acids to liberate hydrogen gas. Therefore, Solutions Q (pH 5) and R (pH 2) will react with magnesium to liberate hydrogen gas.
(b) Ammonium chloride reacts with strong bases to release ammonia gas. A solution with a high pH (basic nature) is required for this reaction to take place. Solution P, with a pH of 13, is strongly basic and will liberate ammonia gas when it reacts with ammonium chloride.
(c) Solution Q (pH 5) will contain both molecules (of the weak acid) and ions (hydrogen ions), as it is a moderately acidic solution where some acid will be in molecular form and some in ionic form.
