Question

write chemical equation for -

(a) Ammonium hydroxide reacts with sulphuric acid.

(b) calcium hydroxide reacts with nitric acid.

Answer 1

The chemical equations for the reactions are as follows:

(a) Ammonium hydroxide reacts with sulfuric acid:

• The balanced chemical equation will be as follows: $NH_{4} OH + H_{2} SO_{4}$ → $(NH_{4})_{2} SO_{4} + H_{2} O$
• Sulfuric acid combines with ammonium hydroxide to generate ammonium sulfate and water.
• Heat and salt are always produced when acids and bases react.
• We have sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and ammonium hydroxide in this situation (NH4OH).
• Heat and salt ammonium sulfate will be produced by the exothermic process.

(b) calcium hydroxide reacts with nitric acid:

• The balanced chemical equation will be as follows: $Ca(OH)_{2} + 2HNO_{3}$ → $Ca(NO_{3})_{2} + H_{2} O$.
• Calcium nitrate and water are formed when calcium hydroxide combines with nitric acid.
• When nitric acid reacts with calcium hydroxide, aqueous calcium nitrate and water are formed.
• Now, nitric acid is a strong acid, which means it dissociates in water to form hydrogen cations and nitrate anions.
• Calcium hydroxide, on the other hand, is not highly water-soluble.
