Initial state:
- HCl (hydrochloric acid) is a strong acid. - NH4OH (ammonium hydroxide) is a weak base.
Reaction:
- HCl + NH4OH → NH4Cl + H2O
Final state:
- NH4Cl (ammonium chloride) is a salt. - H2O (water) is a neutral compound.
Explanation:
In this reaction, the acid (HCl) donates a proton (H+) to the base (NH4OH), forming the conjugate acid (NH4+) and the conjugate base (Cl-). The conjugate acid and conjugate base then react with each other to form the salt (NH4Cl) and water (H2O).
