The process is not a redox reaction.

The reaction between ammonia $(NH_{3} )$ and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce ammonium chloride ( $NH_{4} Cl$ ) has modified the oxidation number of no atom in the reactants. As a base, ammonia interacts easily with hydrochloric acid to produce ammonium chloride salt. A neutralization reaction between an acid and a base is what the described process is, and it is NOT a redox reaction.

A reaction is referred to as a redox reaction if two or more reactants belonging to a single reaction exchange one or more electrons, i.e., one reactant releases one or more additional electrons while the other obtains one or additional electrons. The reacted substance that releases electrons is oxidized and becomes a reducing substance. A reduced oxidizing agent is the reactant that accepts electrons.

Why do all atoms of an element have the same atomic number, although they may have

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Here’s what I get.

Explanation:

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
The number of protons determines the number of electrons.
The number of electrons determines the chemical properties of the element,

Thus, the atomic number determines the identity of the element.

The atomic mass does not affect the chemical properties, so different isotopes of an element behave alike.

How many elements and atoms are in marble

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientists know that there are 6x1023 molecules in a mole - so we have about 0.5x1023 molecules in our marble…and since every silicon dioxide molecule has one atom of silicon and two of oxygen, we have a grand total of 1.5x1023 atoms. That's 150,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms

What is the SI base unit for length?

sp2606 [1]

The SI base unit for length is meter.

In order to make smaller measurements, you can use the centi-, milli-, micro-, etc. prefixes.

When you want to reference larger measurements, you can use the kilo-, mega-, giga- and prefixes such as those.
