(1 point)
A.H2O is the acid. NH4OH is the base.
cap h sub 2 cap o is the acid. cap n cap h sub 4 cap o cap h is the base.
B.NH4OHis the acid. NH4Cl is the base.
cap n cap h sub 4 cap o cap his the acid. cap n cap h sub 4 cap c l is the base.
C.HCl is the acid. NH4OH is the base.
cap h cap c l is the acid. cap n cap h sub 4 cap o cap h is the base.
D.HCl is the base. NH4OH is the acid.
cap h cap c l is the base. cap n cap h sub 4 cap o cap h is the acid.
C.HCl is the acid. NH4OH is the base.
H+ ion in acid
OH- ion in base
acid + base ---> salt + water
C. HCl is the acid. NH4OH is the base.
(cap h cap c l is the acid. cap n cap h sub 4 cap o cap h is the base.)
Why did the acid go to the comedy club?
Because it wanted to be a little pHunny!
In the given reaction, HCl + NH4OH → NH4Cl + H2O, HCl is the acid and NH4OH is the base.
Therefore, the correct answer is: C. HCl is the acid. NH4OH is the base.
In this chemical equation, HCl is the acid and NH4OH is the base.
To determine this, you can look at the reaction as a proton transfer. HCl is a strong acid that donates a proton (H+) to NH4OH, which acts as a weak base and accepts the proton. This forms NH4Cl (ammonium chloride) and H2O (water).
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: HCl is the acid, and NH4OH is the base.
