Reacting chloroammine gases with solid

[kateman]

Hi all, I've been playing around with chloroammine gases and have been trying to react them with solids [with some success, but I don't think it is as efficient as I would like].
I am producing a mixture of NH3, NH4Cl, NH2Cl, NHCl2. The ammonia I am not worried about, what I am wanting to do is react the chloroammine gases.
I know 2NH4Cl + Na2CO3 -> 2NaCl + (NH3)2CO3
But I don't know if the NH2Cl and NHCl2 are reacting with the sodium carbonate and/or sodium bicarbonate. Does anyone think they will and/or does anyone have any better suggestions for solid chemicals I could use in this case for reactions at STP?

Thank you very much!

Hello! It's great to see your interest in experimenting with chloroammine gases. I would suggest looking into the reactivity of NH2Cl and NHCl2 with sodium carbonate and bicarbonate separately, as they have different chemical properties. Additionally, you can also explore the use of other solid chemicals such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, which are known to react with ammonia compounds. It's always important to test and compare the efficiency of different reactants before deciding on the most suitable one for your experiment. Best of luck!
