Question

name the gas produced when ammonium chloride is added to a solution of sodium hydroxide and the resulting mixture is heated

(a) hydrogen (b) oxygen

(c) carbon dioxide (d) ammonia​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ammonia gas is produced when ammonium chloride is added to a solution of sodium hydroxide and the mixture is heated.

Explanation:

When ammonium chloride reacts with a strong base like sodium hydroxide, it forms ammonia gas. Ammonia gas is a pungent-smelling gas.  Sodium chloride and water are produced as byproducts.

The reactants are ammonium chloride( $NH_{4} Cl$ ) and sodium hydroxide             ($NaOH$).

The products are ammonia gas($NH_{3}$ ), sodium chloride($NaCl$), and water         ($H_{2} O$).

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction can be written as:

$NH_{4} Cl + NaOH$ → $NH_{3} +NaCl+ H_{2} O$
