Write balance chemical equation for the following reaction: ammonium hydroxide reacts with sulphuric acid

Open in App

Solution

If you really want to write the reaction for sulfuric acid and "ammonium hydroxide", then it would look like this:

NH3(aq) + H2SO4(aq) --> (NH4)2SO4(aq)

And it would be even better to write it as the ionic equation, since some of these species only exist as ions in solution.

NH3(aq) + H+ + HSO4- --> 2NH4+ + SO4^2-

Sulfuric acid is a strong acid only for the first hydrogen ion that comes off. It leaves the weak acid HSO4- in solution.
