Question

when ammonium hydroxide is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid​

Answer 1

Answer:

it's a classic acid + alkali = salt + water reaction. the salt formed will be ammonium

hold concentrated hydrochloric acid next to a strong Ammonium hydroxide solution and you will get clouds of smoke because in this case its 2 gases reacting to produce a solid. HCL (from the acid) and Ammonia (from the Ammonium hydroxide) react together to make ammonium chloride (the white smoke) no water involved this time.

Answer 2

NH4OH + HCl = NH4Cl + H2O
Ammonium Hydroxide plus Hydrochloric Acid = Ammonium Chloride plus Water.
