So NH4Cl(s) -----> NH4+(aq) + Cl-(aq). As NH4Cl is ionic you can assume it is a solid. Since H2O is polar it reacts with the NH4Cl ion in a way which allows it to dissociate the ion. The oxygen is slightly negative while the hydrogens have a partial positive charge. The negativity of the oxygen in H2O causes the positive charge of the NH4+ molecule to cancel making it no longer attracted to the Cl. The hydrogen in H2O will do the same to the Cl. Once this happens you will have the products stated above in the reaction equation. NH4+ will further react with the water. NH4+ + H2O ---> NH3 + H3O+ . H3O+ is produced rather than OH- because NH4+ is acidic and therefore will donate a hydrogen. Note that because NH4Cl fully dissociates, you do not add in the + H2O in the first equation.

What is the balanced chemical equation for nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia?

The balanced chemical equation for nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia is: N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3. This equation shows that one molecule of nitrogen reacts with three molecules of hydrogen to produce two molecules of ammonia.


Is dissolved ammonia a liquid gas or solid?

Dissolved Ammonia is generally gaseous ammonia reacting with water to form both NH3 (aq) molecules (i.e. ammonia molecules hydrogen bonded with water) and NH4+(aq) and OH- (aq) ions. These are all in solution, so technically its a liquid.


What effects does ammonia have on water?

Ammonia gas is dissolved in water; an ammonium hydroxide solution is obtained.


What is the word equation for burning ammonia?

ammonia + oxygen --> nitrogen monoxide + water


Is ammonia dissolved in water a mixture?

Yes, every solution is a mixture of solvent (water) and solute (ammonia).


Word equation for the reaction between nitric acid and ammonia?

NH3 + H+ ---> NH4+ This is because nitric acid, a strong acid, exists as completely ionized form, whereas ammonia exists mostly as un-ionized in water. The product is a soluble, completely ionized salt.


Is an ammonia water an acid or a base?

Ammonia water is a base chemically, if it reacts with an acidic substance it will produce a salt that is dissolved in the water..


What is aqueous ammonia?

It has not a color. It just like water.


What is liquor ammonia?

Liquor ammonia, or ammonia solution, is a water-based solution of ammonia gas dissolved in water. It is commonly used in household cleaning products and as a precursor in the production of fertilizers and other chemicals. It is also used in some industries for cleaning, pH control, and as a refrigerant.


Is aqueous ammonia a element compound or mixture?

Mixture. Because it contains both water and ammonia.


Is Ammonia heterogeneous or homogeneous mixtures?

Ammonia is a compound, not a mixture. Household ammonia is a homogeneous mixture of ammonia and water.


What is the solute in household ammonia?

I disagree. Household ammonia is 5-10% ammonia. The solvent (the major component) is water. Ammonia is the minor component and is thus a solute.
