Title: net ionic equation
Post by: pete180 on November 25, 2007, 07:50:09 PM

I've looked at different posts, yet i keep seeing different answers, which is getting me even more confused.

How would I get the net ionic equation for:
NH3(aq) + HCl(aq) --->  NH4Cl(aq)

I'm so glad I found this site.  ;)

What are the ions involved in this reaction? What are the spectator ions?

HCl(aq) = H⁺(aq) + Cl^-(aq)
NH₄Cl(aq) = NH₄⁺(aq) + Cl^-(aq)
