(a) (i) Red Litmus has no action on dry ammonia gas. Because it does not release any hydroxyl ions (OH^-)

(ii) When it is passed through water ( NH₃ ) is converted to ammonia hydroxide (NH₄OH ). It dissociates to give hydroxyl ions (OH^- ) and the solution is basic in nature. Red litmus acquires a blue colour.

(b) (i) A green precipitate of ferrous hydroxide will be formed by double decomposition reaction

FeSO₄ + 2NH₄OH ----------> Fe (OH)₂ (Green ppt.) + (NH₄)₂ SO₄

(ii) A white precipitate of aluminum hydroxide will be formed by double decomposition reaction

AlCl₃ + 3NH₄OH aq ---> Al(OH)₃ (White ppt.) + 3NH₄Cl
