The temperature of the solution will decrease. The dissolving of NH4Cl in water is endothermic.

What happen if the ammonium chloride and water combined?

When Ammonium Chloride and water are combined and drop in temperature occurs because a endothermic reaction happens


What reactions does ammonium chloride and water produce?

No chemical reactions will happen when ammonium chloride and water is mixed. Water will dissolve ammonium chloride, meaning the ions of ammonium chloride will dissociate, but no chemical reaction involving the creation of new species will occur. The drop in temeperature is due to the fact that the dissolution process for ammonium chloride is endothermic. Changes in temperature therefore are not good indications of chemical reactions.


What would happen if sodium chloride is taken instead of ammonium chloride during sublimation of ammonium chloride?

The experiment will not work because sodium chloride does not sublime. Ammonium chloride appears to sublime upon heating. However, this process is actually decomposition into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas. NH4Cl + heat → NH3 + HCl (Wikipedia)


What will happen to aluminum foil if soaked on Cupric Chloride?

It exothermically reacts and dissolves


What will happen if sodium chloride is placed in water?

You already know this! Because the main component of table salt is sodium chloride and table salt dissolves in water.


What happen when sodium chloride and ammonium nitrate are mixed?

Any chemical reaction occur.


What would happen to the volume of HCL if added to the ammonia gas?

HCl (Hydrochloric Acid) will react with Ammonia (NH3) to form Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl)


What if you mix hydrochloric acid and ammonium hydroxide?

Let's see. NH4OH + HCl --> NH4Cl + H2O Theoretically, using the word loosely, you would get a salt, ammonium chloride, and water. This reaction may, or may not happen in nature as my memory of college chemistry is becoming hazy.


What reaction takes place between ammonium chloride and sodium hydroxide?

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.

What happen when Ammonia reacts with HCl?

Ammonium salt is formed.


What will happen when a piece of zinc is added to dilute hydrochloric acid?

Zinc + Hydrochloric acid is a basic metal acid reaction. When the Zinc is added to the acid, the zinc dissolves and reacts with the acid, forming hydrogen gas and the salt Zinc Chloride. These sorts of reactions (metal + acid) will always result in a salt (in this case, zinc chloride) and hydrogen gas. The observations from this experiment would be white-gray solid is added to colorless liquid. Solid dissolves and a colorless, odorless gas is formed. Zn + 2HCl -----> ZnCl2 + H2


What is the pH value of ammonia?

Ammonia is a gas that is highly soluble in water. When in solution with water, ammonia becomes ammonium hydroxide, which is strongly basic. The pH of the solution depends on the concentration of ammonium hydroxide, temperature, etc. I happen to think its about 11.5 Dude, yer wrong - its 11.6 definitely.
