Okay, let let's fill in the table based on the observations and standard chemical tests.

a)

  • i) Test Procedure: To 2 cm³ of solution X is added 5 drops of NaOH(aq) and warmed. Observation: A colourless pungent gas is evolved that turns damp red litmus paper blue. Conclusion: The gas is ammonia (NH3\text{NH}_3), indicating the presence of ammonium ions (NH4+(aq)\boxed{\text{NH}_4^+(\text{aq})}).
  • ii) Test Procedure: A sample of X is strongly heated in a test tube. Observation: A brown gas is evolved. Conclusion: A brown gas (nitrogen dioxide, NO2\text{NO}_2)
