Title: neutralization reactions resulting in ammonium iodide
Post by: funboy on August 04, 2006, 06:09:51 PM

so the reaction results in ammonium iodide + water

Im having a hard time figuring out the compound for NH₄

Im guesing this though

ammonium hydroxide + hypoiodous acid ----> ammonium iodide + water

is this correct???

Hypoiodous acid can give hypoiodide, not iodide.

But you are more or less right about mixing ammonium hydroxide with acid.

Why didn't you pick hydroiodic acid?

Plus hydroiodic, which is not an oxyacid.
