Respuesta :
The reaction between sodium hydroxide and ammonium sulfate generates ammonia gas along with water and aqueous sodium sulfate. The reaction can be shown as follows:
2NaOH(aq) + (NH4)2SO4(aq) → 2NH3(g) + Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
The reaction can be further simplified to give a net ionic equation as:
2Na+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + 2NH4+(aq) + SO42-(aq) →
2NH3(g) + 2Na+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Net ionic:
OH-(aq) + NH4+(aq) ↔ NH3(g) + H2O(l)
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction is given as:
[tex]2NaOH(aq)+(NH_4)_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+2NH_4OH(aq)[/tex]
According to reaction, 2 moles of sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of ammonium sulfate to give 1 mole of aqueous sodium sulfate and 2 moles of aqueous ammonium hydroxide.
