When ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is heated with barium hydroxide ( Ba(OH)2 ), ammonia gas is released and colorless solution is given as another product. NH4Cl is a weak acid and barium hydroxde is a strong base.
Barium chloride reacts with aqueous barium hydroxide and produce ammonia gas, barium chloride and water as products. Ammonia dissolve very well in water. But, when mixture is heated ammonia's solubility decreases and comes out from the solution. When this happens, you should be careful to avoid inhaling ammonia gas because ammonia is a very toxic gas and can cause to severe injuries to humas..
As ammonium salt, ammonium chloride, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate and more can be used. As well, aqueous NaOH, KOH, Ba(OH)2 are used as alkalis. You can test ammonia gas emission from different experiments.
Two ammonium chloride moles react with one mole of barium hydroxide and produce two moles of ammonia, one mole of barium chloride and two water moles.
Questions asked by students.
products of barium hydroxide and ammonium chloride reaction are, barium chloride, ammonia and water. Barium chloride is soluble in water and there is precipitation when barium hydroxide iss mixed with ammonium chloride.
Sodium hydroxide is corrosive and may damage your skin. The gaseous product, ammonia is a toxic gas and has a potential to kill a human if it is inhaled. So, you should take protective steps to avoid any injuries. You will feel a smell of ammonia when it is released.
This reaction is an ammonia producing reaction and a weak acid - strong base reaction too.
toxic ammonia gas is emitted.
Reaction is an endothermic one (90.66 kJ).
NH3, BaCl2, H2O
