Question

Indicate the correct answer out of the following for the reaction,
$N{H}_{4}Cl+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons N{H}_{4}OH+HCl$

• A. the reaction is retarded by the addition of $KOH$
• B. the reaction is favoured by the addition of $N{H}_{4}OH$
• C. the reaction is retarded by the addition of hydrogen ion
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C the reaction is retarded by the addition of hydrogen ion

Option (C) is correct.
The reaction is retarded by the addition of hydrogen ion as increase $H^{+}$ favors the backward reaction.
