Are these the correct equations
is this the correct equation for the formation of NH4 a bronsted - lowry acid from a brobdted lowry base

1. 2NH3 +H2 → 2NH4
Below is the reaction between an acid and a base found in fertilizers
2. NH4OH + H2SO4 → NH4SO4 + H2O

Solution

1)First of all,NH4 is an ion.So you should write it as NH4+.So the equation you wrote is wrong.
NH4+ can be formed by reaction NH3 with any molecule with cation Hydrogen

Eg:NH3+HCl--->NH4+ + Cl-

2)It is wring.The Balanced equation:
H₂SO₄ + 2 Nh₄OH = 2 H₂O + (Nh₄)₂SO₄
