Question

Reaction between Ammonium Chloride and Barium hydroxide is_______.

Answer 1

The reaction between Ammonium Chloride and Barium hydroxide:-

• Barium Hydroxide is a strong base and Ammonium Chloride is an acidic salt.
• The reaction between these two compounds will yield another base and another salt.
• The Ammonium hydroxide disintegrates into ammonia and water. The ammonia gas evolves with a pungent smell.
• Both of these compounds are strong electrolytes and will completely dissociate in water.
• This reaction is an endothermic reaction.
• Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products
• Here is a reaction to demonstrate the above-explained statements.

$\underset{\mathrm{Barium}\mathrm{Hydroxide}}{\mathrm{Ba}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Ammonium}\mathrm{Chloride}}{2{\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Barium}\mathrm{Chloride}}{{\mathrm{BaCl}}_2\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Ammonia}}{2{\mathrm{NH}}_3\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}}{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}$
