Question

Choose the correct words or phrases from the brackets to complete the following sentences:

Ammonium chloride is a soluble salt prepared by _____. (precipitation/neutralization)

Answer 1

• The inorganic compound ammonium chloride $\left({\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}\right)$ is a white crystalline salt that is extremely soluble in water.
• Ammonium chloride is prepared by neutralization, the reaction is:
  ${\mathrm{NH}}_3\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+\mathrm{HCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\to {\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)$
• Thus, Ammonium chloride is a soluble salt prepared by neutralization.
