Question

Enter the molecular equation representing aqueous nitric acid and aqueous ammonia reacting. express your answer as a balanced molecular equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

Aqueous nitric acid and aqueous ammonia reacts to form ammonium nitrate
HNO₃(aq)+NH₃(aq) = NH₄NO₃(aq)
HNO₃ +NH3 = NH₄ (+) + NO₃ (-)
Therefore the net ionic equation will be;
H⁺(aq) + NH₃ = NH₄⁺ (aq)

Answer 2

Answer : The balanced chemical reaction will be,

`HNO_3(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow NH_4NO_3(aq)`

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is a reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

As per question.

When aqueous nitric acid react with aqueous ammonia then it gives ammonium nitrate as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

`HNO_3(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow NH_4NO_3(aq)`

This reaction is an acid-base reaction in which an acid react with a base to give salt and water as a product.
