Question

Write a balanced chemical equation for the preparation of the following salt:
Ammonium sulphates crystals

Answer 1

Reaction of ammonia $\left({\mathrm{NH}}_3\right)$ and sulphuric acid$\left({\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\right)$:

• Ammonia when treated with sulphuric acid, neutralizes the acid and forms ammonium sulphate salt ${\left({\mathrm{NH}}_4\right)}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$.
• Ammonium sulphate, often known as ${\left({\mathrm{NH}}_4\right)}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$, is an inorganic salt having a variety of commercial applications. The most common application is as a fertilizer for soil.

The balanced chemical equation for the preparation of ammonium sulphate crystals is:

• $2{\mathrm{NH}}_3\left(g\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)⟶{\left({\mathrm{NH}}_4\right)}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\left(\mathrm{s}\right)$
