What is the net ionic equation between

NH3 + HCL ???

Thanks

Wow I just realized I forgot all my g chem....unless i'm confusing what a "net ionic equation" is,


It's got to be:

--> NH4(+) + CL(-)

Ammonia is the base, HCL is the acid. NH3 accepts an H from HCL. It becomes positive, the Cl is negative

This is kind of a wierd one.

I will assume that this is in aqueuous solution:

Full Equation(s):

(1) NH3 + H2O + HCl -> NH4+ + OH- + H+ + Cl-
(2) NH4+ + OH- + H+ + Cl- -> NH4+ + H2O + Cl-

"Add" Together and cancel terms on both sides:

NH3 + HCl -> NH4+ + Cl-

The answer depends upon the wording of the question. If both of these are assumed to be in aqueous solution at the beginning, equation (2) is the full ionic equation, so the net ionic equation would just be:

H+ + OH- -> H2O

If the NH3 is a gas, the net ionic is just

H+(aq) + NH3(g) -> NH4+(aq)

Isn't NH4Cl a salt, why cancel out

 

[SeventhSon]

NH3 + H+ ---> <--- NH4+.

Cl- is a spectator ion in aqueous solution. remember, however, that NH3 is the conjugate base of a weak acid, so it is an equilibrium relationship.

if you are asked "what is the net ionic equation of the protonation of NH3 by Hcl" then you can write it as a one-way reaction.

part of what it means to write out a net ionic equation instead of a balanced equation.

This is only true if you have more NH3 than H+
