As you have it written NH3 donates a proton to the solution and this hydrogen ion is picked up by PH3 to make PH4; so NH3 is the acid here. ( though this reaction seems odd to me )
I think this belongs in Chemistry NH3 is Ammonia and NH4 would be an ammonia ION which is called Ammonium
None. This is a metathesis reaction, and thus nothing is produced but a combination of the reactants (NH4Br, for example).
It has a lone pair.So pyramidal in shape.
It is pyramidal in shape.It has a lone pair.
NH4OH + HC2H3O2 ---> NH4C2H3O2 + H2ONH4+ + OH- + H+ + C2H3O2- ---> NH4+ + C2H3O2- + H2OOH- (aq) + H+ (aq)---> H2O (l)
NH3 is an example of a Lewis base as it can donate a pair of electrons to form a bond with a Lewis acid. Lewis bases are electron pair donors, while Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors.
Ammonium ions: NH3 + H+ --> NH4+
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction NH3 + NO2 -> N2O + H2O is: 4 NH3 + 4 NO2 -> 3 N2O + 6 H2O
HCl is a strong acid, while NaOH, HF, and NH3 are not strong acids. NaOH is a strong base, HF is a weak acid, and NH3 is a weak base.
Household ammonia contains the chemical compound ammonia (NH3), which is a weak base, not an acid.
ammonia, NH3
No, NH3 (ammonia) is a weak base, not a strong acid. HCl (hydrochloric acid) and HF (hydrofluoric acid) are strong acids. Strong acids completely dissociate in water to produce H+ ions, while weak acids only partially dissociate.
The deamination of amino acids produces ammonia (NH3) and a keto acid. This process is important for the removal of excess nitrogen from the body, which can be toxic if levels become too high.
PH3 (phosphine) is considered to be a weaker base compared to NH3 (ammonia) because the electronegativity of phosphorus is greater than nitrogen, making the lone pair on phosphorus less available for donation. This results in NH3 being a stronger base than PH3.
(N2) + 3(H2) = 2(NH3)
NH3 is classified as a base in chemistry because it can accept a proton (H) from an acid to form the ammonium ion (NH4), making it capable of neutralizing acids.
