Question

Write the acid-base reaction between the weak base ammonia NH3 and the strong acid hydrochloric acid HCL.

Answer 1

Answer:

HCl + NH₃ → NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻

Explanation:

When a strong acid as HCl reacts with a weak base as NH₃ a salt that comes from the conjugate acid, NH₄⁺, and the ion of the acid, Cl⁻, is produced as follows:

HCl + NH₃ → NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻

This is the acid- base reaction

The base captures the proton of the acid (proton aceptor) and the acid give the proton (Proton donor)
