The balanced net ionic equation for the reaction between household ammonia (NH3) and sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) can be determined using the Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory.
NH3 (aq) + HCO3- (aq) -> NH4+ (aq) + CO3^2- (aq)
In this reaction, NH3 is acting as a base by accepting a proton from HCO3-. This results in the formation of NH4+ and CO3^2-.
To determine whether the reactant or product is favored, we would need additional information such as the initial concentrations of NH3 and HCO3-, the temperature, and the reaction conditions. Without this information, it is not possible to determine if the reactant or product is favored.
Using the Bronted- Lowry acid base theory what is the balanced net ionic equation for
Household ammonia and sodium hydrogen carbonate are mixed in aqueous solution.
Is it reactant or product favored?
