Question

What is the salt that is produced when ammonia (NH3) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) react together? NCl NH4+ NH4Cl NH2Cl

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is $NH_4Cl$

Explanation:

Ammonia is a base because it accepts $H^+$ ions and Hydrochloric acid is an acid because it looses $H^+$ ions.

So, the reaction between them, leads to the formation of a salt.

The equation for the reaction of ammonia and hydrochloric acid follows:

$HCl+NH_3\rightarrow NH_4Cl$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of hydrochloric acid reacts with 1 mole of ammonia to produce 1 mole of ammonium chloride.

Hence, the salt formed is $NH_4Cl$

Answer 2

NH4CI or ammonium chloride
