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 a salt?

Yes, NH4NO3 is a salt. It is commonly known as ammonium nitrate and is formed by the reaction of ammonia and nitric acid. It is widely used as a high-nitrogen fertilizer and also as an explosive in some applications.


Is NH4NO3 an acid?

NH4NO3 is a salt made up of ammonium ions (NH4+) and nitrate ions (NO3-), so it is not an acid. However, when dissolved in water, NH4NO3 can slightly increase the hydrogen ion concentration, making the solution slightly acidic.


NH4NO2 and NH4CN which has a higher pH?

NH4NO2 has a higher pH than NH4CN. NH4NO2 is the salt of a weak acid (nitrous acid) and a strong base (ammonia), resulting in a basic pH. NH4CN is the salt of a weak acid (hydrocyanic acid) and a weak base (ammonia), resulting in a slightly acidic pH.


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.


What is the general equation for a acid-base reaction?

Here are the four general acid reactions. Acid + Base = Salr + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soliuble base.


What is the General equation for acid reacting with a base?

acid + base → 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.


What is the general form for the simplest type of acid base reaction?

Acid + base salt + water


What forms when base react with acid they form salt and what?

When a base reacts with an acid, they form a salt and water. The salt is the result of the neutralization reaction between the acid and base, where the H+ ions from the acid combine with the OH- ions from the base to form water, leaving behind the salt compound.


Is Salt formed when an acid or a base react chemically?

Salt is formed when an acid and a base react chemically through a neutralization reaction. The hydrogen ions from the acid combine with the hydroxide ions from the base to form water, while the remaining ions from the acid and base combine to form the salt.
