Question

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between ammonia and water.

Answer 1

Answer:

$NH_3+H_2O\operatorname{\rightarrow}NH_4OH.$

Explanation:

The reaction between ammonia (NH3) and water (H2O) would be a combination reaction: a combination reaction is a reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a single new substance. Combination reactions can also be called synthesis reactions. The general form of a combination reaction is:

$A+B\rightarrow AB.$

In our case, the product would be ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH):

$NH_3+H_2O\rightarrow NH_4OH.$
