Question

. What is the action of hydrochloric acid on
the following?
a. NH3
b. Na2Co3​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In water, the reaction between ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) is a textbook example of acid-base chemistry. ... The theft leaves chloride alone and negative. But the nitrogen molecule (now called ammonium) has gained a positive charge from the stolen hydrogen, and that attracts the chloride.

Well, HCl is an acid and it reacts with the metal carbonate Na2CO3 to give CO2 (carbon dioxide) , H2O and NaCl ( sodium chloride). As, it involves the release of carbon dioxide a brisk effervescence is seen.

Answer 2

HCL+NH3 - NH4CL

Na2Co3+HCL - NaCl + H2o + Co2
