Since the titration is between a strong acid and a weak base, methylorange should be suitable as the equivalence point is around pH 5. The K of the indicator should be equal to the pH at the end point. Methyl orange is that indicator

What happens in the diffusion of aqueous ammonia concentrated hydrochloric acid?

When ammonia diffuses woth hydrochloric acid, the ammonia is less dense than the Hydrochloric acid, thus causing the ammonia to travel faster towards the hydrochloric acid. A white solid ring should form when both gases meet.


What is the balanced equation for hydrochloric acid with ammonia?

Ammonia plus hydrochloric acid produces ammonium chloride. NH3 + HCl → NH4Cl


Which would diffuse faster ammonia or hydrochloric acid?

Ammonia would. The lower the molecular mass the faster it diffuses,. Ammonia (NH3) has a mass of about 17 AMU while hydrochloric acid about 36.5


Why the reaction of ammonia solution and hydrochloric acid is formed nearer to the hydrochloric acid?

because the particles of the ammonia are lighter so theyy movee faster


What is the colour of ammonia on a universal indicator?

pH of ammonia is around 11-12. Hence when you put it in a universal indicator, you get purple color.


What colour does the univeral indicator turn in ammonia solution?

It depends on the concentration of the ammonia solution as the universal indicator can show a huge variety of colors.


Why does ammonia travel faster than a hydrochloric acid?

Because ammonia is lighter thus it travels faster


What does hydrochloric acid and ammonia make?

ammonium chloride which is a salt


Muriatic acid and ammonia?

is muriatic acid same as ammonia? Muriatic acid is industrial hydrochloric acid (HCl). Ammonia is a base (NH3).


What is the word equation for Ammonia reacting with hydroelectric acid?

I am guessing that you mean hydrochloric acid, and the reaction is ammonia plus hydrochloric acid gives ammonium chloride; NH3 + HCl => NH4Cl


What is formed if you mix hydrochloric acid with amonia?

Ammonia + Hydrochloric acid ----> Ammonium Chloride NH3 + HCl ----> NH4Cl


How can you separate the constituents of ammoniumchloride?

By heating ammonia and hydrochloric acid are released.
