Question

What type of chemical reaction takes place when Ammonia and Hydrogen chloride are mixed?

Answer 1

Combination reaction:

• When two or more substances react to form a single product, it is called a combination reaction.
• A single product is formed in the reaction.

Reaction between Ammonia and Hydrogen chloride:

• When Ammonia (${\mathrm{NH}}_3$) reacts with Hydrogen chloride ($\mathrm{HCl}$), it results in the formation of Ammonium chloride (${\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}$).
• In this reaction, Ammonia and Hydrogen chloride are combined to form a single product. Therefore, it is a combination reaction.

${\mathrm{NH}}_3\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+\mathrm{HCl}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\to {\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)$
