Question

Nitric acid (HNO3) reacts with ammonia (NH3) in aqueous solution. Use your knowledge of nitric acid to decide what type of reaction arrow(s) to use. $$ Part 2 (1 point) Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with ammonia in aqueous solution. Use your knowledge of sulfuric acid to decide what type of reaction arrow(s) to use. $$

Answer 1

Answer:

Both reactions are acid-base reactions

Explanation:

An acid base reaction is a reaction that occurs between an acid and a base. This reaction often leads to the formation of a salt in the process. The nature of the salt depends on the type of acid and base that reacted in the process.

Both HNO3 and H2SO4 are strong acids. However, ammonia is a weak base. The acid base reaction between ammonia and these strong acids is shown below;

HNO3(aq) + NH3(aq) ------>NH4NO3(aq)

H2SO4(aq) + 2NH3(aq) ----> (NH4)2SO4(aq)
