Title: simple question..
Post by: LoW_JacK on June 06, 2004, 05:25:00 AM
HCL + NH3 = Ammonium Chloride + ?
The ? doesnt concearn me as much as the easy addition reaction of ,lets say, muratic acid + 99.99% pure ammonia, equalling ammonium chloride salt. Is this as simple as it sounds? I've pondered about the ammonia needing some H2O with it. But for the most part, It's a straight forward way of producing ammonium chloride salt....???? NO/Yeah?
Title: Yes

Yes.
Muriatic acid and ammonia water = ammonium chloride.
What do you mean 99.99% ammonia?

Do you mean gaseous ammonia? have fun.... ::) personally, rather use somewhat diluted, 30-40%??? and gas with HCl... ???
And yes your right, its a+b reaction... acid + base --> salt + water (not water here though) HCl + NH3 --> NH4Cl

Just the shit in liquid form that boasts of being pure ammonia. As opposed 2 lemon scented. :P
