Question

1). Write the net ionic equation for the equilibrium that is established when ammonium bromide is dissolved in water.

(Use H₃O⁺ instead of H⁺.)

Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral

2). Write the net ionic equation for the equilibrium that is established when ammonium chloride is dissolved in water.

(Use H₃O⁺ instead of H⁺.)

Is the solution acidic, basic or neutral

Answer 1

the balanced equation is as follows

NH₄Br(aq) + H₂O(l) <-------------> NH₄OH (aq) + HBr (aq)

the NH₄⁺ ion dissociates in water as follows and the net ionic equation is as follows

NH₄⁺ (aq) + H₂​​​​O (l) <-----------> NH₃ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq)

the solution is acidic

the balanced equation is as follows

NH₄Cl(aq) + H₂O(l) <-------------> NH₄OH (aq) + HCl (aq)

the NH₄⁺ ion dissociates in water as follows and the net ionic equation is as follows

NH₄⁺ (aq) + H₂​​​​O (l) <-----------> NH₃ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq)

the solution is acidic
