Question:
Write the balanced chemical equation, when excess of ammonia is treated with chlorine.
Write the balanced chemical equation, when excess of ammonia is treated with chlorine.
Show Hint
Be careful with the limiting reactant. If chlorine were in excess, the product would be the explosive nitrogen trichloride (NCl\(_3\)).

Solution and Explanation
When ammonia is in excess, it reacts with chlorine to produce nitrogen gas and ammonium chloride.
The balanced overall equation is:
\[
8\text{NH}_3(\text{excess}) + 3\text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow \text{N}_2 + 6\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}
\]
