Answer 1

I've short trick for you to remember litmus

BRA = Blue to Red ➜ Acid

7 to 14 ➜ Basic

• Ammonia turns red litmus into blue it shows that the process is Basic
• The pH of Ammonia is 11.6

Ans 2:

• Ammonium sulfate can be made in the lab using dilute ammonia solution and dilute sulfuric acid
• Ammonia + Sulfuric acid → Ammonium sulfate.
• 2NH₃+ H₂SO₄ → (NH₄)₂SO₄

Ans 3:
