Question

aqua solution of common salt reacts with carbon dioxide and ammonia to from ammonium chloride and sodium hydrogen carbonate balance the equation​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The balanced equation is

NaCl+NH_3+H_2O+CO_2\longrightarrow NaHCO_3+NH_3ClNaCl+NH

3

+H

2

O+CO

⟶NaHCO

3

+NH

Cl

The reactants are common salt(NaCl), carbon dioxide(CO₂) and ammonia(NH3) and the products are ammonium chloride(NH₃Cl) and sodium hydrogen carbonate(NaHCO₃) also known as baking soda.

As the aqueous solution of common salt is used, water(H₂O) will also be a reactant. So the reaction will be

NaCl+NH_3+H_2O+CO_2\longrightarrow NaHCO_3+NH_3ClNaCl+NH

3

+H

2

O+CO

2

⟶NaHCO

3

+NH

Cl

The respective number of sodium, chlorine, hydrogen, oxygen atoms are equal on both the sides of the reaction. Therefore it is a balanced equation.
