What is the product of ammonium nitrate and calcium chloride?
Both ammonium nitrate and calcium chloride are salts, as they are ionic compounds that can be produced from an acid-base reaction. Neither is the salt we put on our food, however. Table salt is sodium chloride.
What is the reaction equation for ammonium chloride and water?
NH4Cl(s) + H2O(l) ----> NH4+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H3O+(l)Ammonium Chloride + Water----> ammonium ion + chloride ion + hydronium ionAmmonium chloride will only dissolve in water, so water does not react chemically in the chloride's dissociation.each dissolved ammonium chloride molecule results in one molecule of hydrochloric acid and ammonia.NH4Cl + H2O < NH3 + HCl Since NH3 (ammonia) and HCl (hydrochloric acid) are a base and an acid respectively, the reaction equilibrium will favor the left side of the equation.
How does ammonium chloride behave in water?
It is a good solute because highly soluble in water but its aqueous solution is slightly acidic in nature due to formation of weak base Ammonium hydroxide and strong acid Hydrochloric acid after the hydrolysis of salt.
Is ammonium hydroxide the same as ammonium chloride?
No they are not same. Ammonium hydroxide is a weak base, an aqueous compound in normal state. Ammonium chloride is a an acidic salt and is a white powder in normal state.
Does ammonium chloride sublime?
yes it does (sort of, see below) other substances which sublime include dry ice(solid carbon dioxide), iodine, and naphthalene(substance found in mothballs). In the case of ammonium chloride, however, hydrogen chloride is driven off by the heat to give a mixture of gaseous ammonia and hydrogen chlroide. Condensation of the volatile acid and base regenerates ammonium chloride, so the process is actually a pseudosublimation.
Is ammonium chloride base?
ammonium on it's own is a base and chlorine is not an acid. so i think ammonium chloride is a base.
What is the chemical name of the formula NH4Cl?
NH4Cl is ammonium chloride. It is the product of an acid-base reaction between ammonia and hydrochloric acid. It is mildly acidic.
Is ammonia chLoride a base or acid?
Ammonium Chloride is a salt.It is an acidic salt.
Which acid and base combine to form ammonium chloride?
ammonia and hydrochloric acid
Which acid and base is used to make ammonium chloride?
The acid required is Hydrochloric Acid and the base is Ammonium Hydroxide (Ammonia solution in water). If the acid and base are very concentrated and merely placed close to each other, the vapours from them will react immediately to form white clouds of ammonium chloride particles.
What acid neutralises ammonium hydroxide to make ammonium chloride?
Hydrochloric acid neutralises ammonium hydroxide to make ammonium chloride.
Is ammonium an acid or base?
Unlike it's weak base counterpart, ammonia (NH3), ammonium (NH4) is an acid.
Is Ammonium an Acid and Ammonium Hydroxide a Base?
No: Ammonium is a polyvalent cation that is not usually considered either an acid or a base. Ammonium hydroxide is a base that produces ammonium salts of the anions of an acid with which the ammonium hydroxide reacts.
Is NH4Cl a acid or base?
It is a white crystalline salt that is highly soluble in water. Solutions of ammonium chloride are mildly acidic.
What combinations of compounds will make a buffer when mixed?
In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride
Is ammonium ethanoate an acid or a base?
Base and acid. Ammonium ethanoate is am amphoteric salt.
If you mix ammonium chloride with formic acid mole for mole will you get ammonium formate?
No.
