Question

Write the word equation for the following and identify the reactants and the products in the reaction.

Reacting ammonia gas with hydrogen chloride gas.

Answer 1

• Word equation- An equation with the name of the reactants and products involved in a chemical reaction.
• Reaction of ammonia gas with hydrogen chloride gas - When ammonia gas$\left({\mathrm{NH}}_3\right)$ and hydrogen chloride gas$\left(\mathrm{HCl}\right)$ combine, a white crystalline solid of ammonium chloride$\left({\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}\right)$ is formed.

$\underset{\mathrm{Ammonia}}{{\mathrm{NH}}_3\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Hydrogen}\mathrm{chloride}}{\mathrm{HCl}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Ammonium}\mathrm{chloride}}{{\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}$
