What is the pH of ammonium nitrate?

The P.H. of Ammonium Nitrate is 7(neutral). Why? Now that's a good question. It is on 7 because it is an acid mixed with and alkali which is known as a Neutralization reaction. That is why it is 7 on the P.H. scale. The equation is Ammonium Hydroxide+Nitric Acid which equals to Ammonium Nitrate.


Alkali react with ammonium salt?

I give an example for ammonium salt ....hmm.... lets just take ammonium chloride as an example . How about alkali ? I take calcium hydroxide as an example for alkali . Calcium hydroxide is formed when calcium oxide reacts with water whereas ammonium chloride is formed when hydrochloric acid reacts with ammonia solution . Calcium hydroxide (alkali) + ammonium chloride (ammonium salt) --> calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water .


Does any one no the word equation for making ammonium nitrate?

Ammonia + Nitric Acid = Ammonium Nitrate NH3 + HNO3 = NH4NO3


What acid can be added to ammonia for it to convert into ammonium nitrate?

Nitric acid can be added to ammonia to convert it into ammonium nitrate. This reaction forms ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3, which is a common fertilizer.


What is the products of amidosulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide?

Ammonium hydroxide and sodium nitrate. It is an acid (NH4+) to base (OH-) reaction: The ammonium ion turns into an anhydrous ammonia molecule in solution (aq.) in the reaction with hydroxide ions, forming ammonia, water, and two tribunated ions [sodium and nitrate stay unchanged in solution]. NH4+aq + [NO3- + Na+]aq + OH-aq → NH3,aq + H2O + [Na+ + NO3-]aq

What are the two ways to prepare ammonium sulphate?

The two common ways to prepare ammonium sulphate are neutralizing ammonia gas with sulfuric acid or reacting ammonium hydroxide with sulfuric acid. In the first method, ammonia gas is bubbled through sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulphate. In the second method, ammonium hydroxide is slowly added to sulfuric acid to produce ammonium sulphate.


Is effect of ammonium sulphate on soil similar to that of aluminum sulphate?

Aluminum Sulphate helps create an acid soil condition for plants. Ammonium Sulphate is a fast release, quick acting source of nitrogen.


Is ammonium chloride acid or alkali?

An ammonia solution is alkaline.


Sulfuric acid neutralizes with WHICH base to produce ammonium sulfate?

Sulfuric acid reacts with Ammonia gas (NH3) to produce ammonium sulphate.


Is sulphate a Base or acid?

Ammonium sulfate is a neutral salt which shows alkaline behavior in solution due to the hydrolysis of the ammonium ion.


Is ammonium hydroxide an akali or an acid?

Ammonium hydroxide is an alkali because it gives OH- ions in water and gives a salt on reaction with an acid.


What is the name for NH4 HSO4?

Is sodium hydrogen sulphate an acid or alkali?

Sodium hydrogen sulfate is an acid. It is also known as sodium bisulfate. It is commonly used in cleaning products and as a pH adjuster in various industrial applications.


What is the balanced equation of ammonium sulphate from ammonia and dilute sulphuric acid?

You wrote the wrong question. It should be: What is the balanced equation of ammonium sulphate from ammonium and dilute sulphuric acid? Well the answer will be (NH4)+1(S04)-2 which equals to (NH4)2 (SO4)


Is ammonium sulphate a base or acid?

Ammonium sulfate is a neutral salt which shows alkaline behavior in solution due to the hydrolysis of the ammonium ion.


Is benzalkonium chloride acid or alkali?

Benzalkonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound, which means it is neither an acid nor an alkali. It is a type of disinfectant commonly used in antiseptic products and has surfactant properties.


Is ammonium sulfate an acid or base?

No it is not. Examples of Acids, Bases, Alkali and Salt. Hydrochloric Acid is an Acid. All Acids end with the word "Acid" Copper (II) Oxide is a base. All bases end with the word "Oxide" Copper (II) Hydroxide is an Alkali. All Alkali end with the word "Hydroxide". An alkali is basically a soluble base. The rest would be salts. In this case, Ammonium Chloride is a salt.
