Question

Naoh(aq)+(nh4)2so4(aq)→ express your answer as a chemical equation. enter noreaction if no reaction occurs. identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

$2NaOH(aq)+(NH_4)_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+2NH_4OH(aq)$

According to reaction, 2 moles of sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of ammonium sulfate to give 1 mole of aqueous sodium sulfate and 2 moles of aqueous ammonium hydroxide.

Answer 2

The reaction between sodium hydroxide and ammonium sulfate generates ammonia gas along with water and aqueous sodium sulfate. The reaction can be shown as follows:

2NaOH(aq) + (NH4)2SO4(aq) → 2NH3(g) + Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

The reaction can be further simplified to give a net ionic equation as:

2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + 2NH4+(aq) + SO42-(aq) →

                                                     2NH3(g) + 2Na+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Net ionic:

OH-(aq) + NH4+(aq) ↔ NH3(g) + H2O(l)
