This would be an example of a double replacement type of reaction, the salt that is produced would be with the ions of ammonium and nitrate, NO3^-.

The salt is (NH4)NO3.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an acid reacts with a base then it results in the formation of salt and water.


HNO_(3) is an acid and
NH_(4)OH is a base thus, when we dissolve ammonium hydroxide in nitric acid then it results in the formation of ammonium nitrate and water.

The reaction is as follows.


NH_(4)OH + HNO_(3) \rightarrow NH_(4)NO_(3) + H_(2)O

Hence, there will be formation of ammonium nitrate
(NH_(4)NO_(3)) salt.
