Which salt is produced when NH4OH Reacts with HNO3

Verified Answer :

This would be an example of a double replacement type of reaction, the salt that is produced would be with the ions of ammonium and nitrate, NO3^-.

The salt is (NH4)NO3.

Explanation:

When an acid reacts with a base then it results in the formation of salt and water.

\(HNO_{3}\) is an acid and \(NH_{4}OH\) is a base thus, when we dissolve ammonium hydroxide in nitric acid then it results in the formation of ammonium nitrate and water.

The reaction is as follows.

 \(NH_{4}OH + HNO_{3} \rightarrow NH_{4}NO_{3} + H_{2}O\)

Hence, there will be formation of ammonium nitrate \((NH_{4}NO_{3})\) salt.
