Salt, although i dont believe this molecule exists.
NH3 in water can attract a proton from a H2O molecule and form NH4+ + OH-.
This is called ammoniumhydroxide (NH4OH).
Since the ammonia creates an OH- it is a base and the NH4+ is its conjegated acid.

Is NH4NO3 a strong acid and a weak base?
It is the product of a strong acid and a weak base, but is itself a mildly acidic salt.
Is NH4NO3 a strong or weak acid?
No, NH3 is a weak base, as it tends to capture free protons.
Is NH4NO3 an acid?
Ammonium nitrate is a salt, not an acid. Ammonium nitrate is a white, crystalline solid.
Is Salt formed when an acid or a base react chemically?
Yes. An acid-base reaction forms a salt and water. acid+ + base− = salt + water
What salt is created in the reaction of nitric acid and ammonia?
Ammonium nitrate is obtained: NH4OH + HNO3 = NH4NO3 + H2O
Is NH4NO3 a strong acid and a weak base?
It is the product of a strong acid and a weak base, but is itself a mildly acidic salt.
Is NH4NO3 a salt?
Ammonia Nitrate NH4NO3 is a highly water-soluble salt
Is NH4NO3 a strong or weak acid?
No, NH3 is a weak base, as it tends to capture free protons.
Is NH4NO3 an acid?
Ammonium nitrate is a salt, not an acid. Ammonium nitrate is a white, crystalline solid.
What is formed when an acid and a base is mixed?
when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.
Is Salt formed when an acid or a base react chemically?
Yes. An acid-base reaction forms a salt and water. acid+ + base− = salt + water
How does salt neutralise?
I'm assuming you mean a salt neutralising an acid or base- This can not actually happen, because a salt is already 'Neutralised' An acid can neutralise a base, and a base neutralise an acid, but when Base+Acid reacts, a salt is formed. Adding a salt to a acid or base solution will only make it salty.
What salt is created in the reaction of nitric acid and ammonia?
Ammonium nitrate is obtained: NH4OH + HNO3 = NH4NO3 + H2O
What forms when base react with acid they form salt and what?
acid+ base= salt + water
What is the general form for the simplest type of acid base reaction?
Acid + base salt + water
What are the reactants and products in a neutralization reaction?
In a neutralisation reaction, an acid and a base will react to form a salt and water. This salt will be either acidic, basic or neutral depending upon the pH of the reactions. General rules:weak acid + strong base → basic salt + waterstrong acid + weak base → acidic salt + waterstrong acid + strong base → neutral salt + waterweak acid + weak base → neutral salt + water
Can an acid and a base react to form an acid?
NO!!!! Remember the general acid reaction equations. Acid + Base = Salt +Water Acid +Alkali = Salt + Water Acid +Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
