What reaction takes place between ammonium chloride and sodium hydroxide?

Answer 1

It would be predicted that it would smell like ammonia, but when performing the actual test myself I found no odor change. I would probably predict a possible pH change.

Answer 2

Ammonium Chloride in its aqueous solution is acidic. Sodium Hydroxide is well known for being a very strong base. Reaction between Ammonium Chloride and Sodium Hydroxide produces compounds Ammonia, Water and Sodium Chloride.

NH4Cl + NaOH -> NH3 + NaCl + H2O

Answer 3

There's no reaction!

Most of the time, things like this are metathesisreactions, where the anions and cations "switch partners." However, in this case, doing that would produce sodium hydroxide ... a strong base ... instead of ammonium hydroxide, a "weak" base. This just doesn't happen.

Answer 4

Ammonium sulfate is a salt formed by the reaction of ammonium hydroxide and sulfuric acid. It contains nitrogen so can be used as a fertilizer, and it is acidic so can be used to lower the pH of soil. Sodium hydroxide, commonly known as caustic soda, is a strong alkali and one of our most important feedstock chemicals. It is used in the manufacture of all sorts of things, including paper, fertilizers, ceramics and soap. In everyday life it is sometimes used (with extreme care) as a drain unblocker.

These two chemicals are used together in the laboratory preparation of ammonia gas:

ammonium sulfate + sodium hydroxide --> ammonia + water + sodium sulfate.

Answer 5

The formula of ammonium chloride is NH4Cl. It therefore contains Nitrogen, Hydrogen, and Chlorine.
NH4Cl

Answer 6

NH4Cl + LiOH = NH3 + LiCl + H2O

Ammonium Chloride + Lithium Hydroxide = Ammonia + Lithium Chloride + Water

Answer 7

Ammonium chloride + Sodium hydroxide ----> Ammonia + Sodium chloride + Water

NH4Cl + NaOH → NH3 + NaCl + H2O
