In an investigation ammonium chloride crystals were placed inside a boiling tube ,the boiling tube was then horizontally clamped as shown below?
A piece of litmus indicator paper was placed at the opening of the tube,the ammonium chloride crystals were then heated,
a) account for the observations?
The investigation likely involved observing the sublimation of ammonium chloride crystals. By heating the crystals in the boiling tube, they would have turned directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. The horizontal clamping of the boiling tube would have allowed for easy observation of any changes in the crystals as they sublimated.
