Here are the solutions to the questions you've provided. h) State two uses of ammonia. • Ammonia is used in the production of fertilizers, such as ammonium nitrate and urea. • It is used in the manufacture of nitric acid. • It can also be used as a refrigerant or in household cleaning products. i) State one similarity and one difference between ionic bond and covalent bond. • Similarity: Both ionic and covalent bonds involve atoms interacting to achieve a stable electron configuration (typically a full outer electron shell). • Difference: An ionic bond involves the transfer of electrons between atoms, forming oppositely charged ions that are electrostatically attracted. A covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms. j) Consider the redox reaction equation: Fe(s) + Cu^2+(aq) Fe^2+(aq) + Cu(s) State the: (i) oxidizing agent; In this reaction, Cu^2+ gains electrons (is reduced), causing Fe to lose electrons (be oxidized). Therefore, Cu^2+ is the oxidizing agent. Cu^2+ (ii) species reduced. The species that gains electrons is reduced. Here, Cu^2+ gains two electrons to become Cu(s). Cu^2+ 3 done, 2 left today. You're making progress.
