In the following reaction, identify the salt formed – NH4OH (aq) + H2SO4 (aq)→ ………………+ 2H2O(l)
Question

In the following reaction, identify the salt formed – NH4OH (aq) + H2SO4 (aq)→ ………………+ 2H2O(l)

A.

(NH4)2S

B.

(NH4)3SO4

C.

NH4NO3

D.

(NH4)2SO4

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) (NH4)2SO4. In the given reaction, ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) reacts with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to form ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) and water (H2O). The balanced chemical equation is:
NH4OH (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) →  _____  +  2H2O (l)
The reaction will be completed like below:
NH4OH (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) →  (NH4)2SO4 + 2H2O (l)
Balance the above equation we get: 
2 NH4OH (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) → (NH4)2SO4 + 2H2O (l)
So, (NH4)2SO4will be formed.
Important Key Points:
· The reaction between NH4OH and H2SO4 forms ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4).
· Ammonium sulfate is a common salt used as a fertilizer due to its nitrogen content.
· The reaction also produces water as a byproduct.
· Ammonium sulfate is highly soluble in water and is often used in agriculture.
· The formation of salts from acid-base reactions is fundamental in chemistry.
· Understanding such reactions is crucial for industrial applications and laboratory practices.
