CSEC Chemistry · May/June 2006 · Paper 2 · Question 5(a)(ii)

A student produces ammonia in the laboratory by adding Liquid Y to Solid W and warming as shown in Figure 5. Damp blue litmus is used to identify the ammonia produced.

Identify the process by which the ammonia gas that is produced at the bottom of the test tube comes in contact with the litmus paper at the mouth of the test tube.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
