Na(NH4)HPO4
Microcosmic salt is Na(NH4)HPO4. It is white crystalline solid. It is separated by fractional crystallisation.
It is obtained when NH4Cl and Na2HPO4 are dissolved in hot water and cooled.
NH4Cl + Na2HPO4 → Na(NH4)HPO4 + NaCl
It is used for the detection of certain, basic radicals which forms coloured mixed phosphate with NaPO3.
Na(NH4)HPO4 NaPO3 + NH3 + H2O
NaPO3 + CoO → NaCo.PO4
A buffer solution is prepared by mixing 0.1 M ammonia and 1.0 M ammonium chloride. At 298 K, the pKb of NH4OH is 5.0. The pH of the buffer is

Oxygen and sulphur both are the member of same group in periodic table but H2O is liquid while H2S is gas because
molecular weight of water is more
electronegativity of sulphur is more
H2S is weak acid
water molecules are having weak hydrogen bonds between them
