When barium hydroxide is mixed with ammonium chloride, a fall in temperature is observed why? plz explain in detail

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ammonium chloride has ammonium (NH4 +) part which is slightly acidic and Barium Hydroxide is a strong base.

You can see that an acid-base reaction will occur.

In this case :

Its highly endothermic reaction

Forms aqueous ammonia (mind that ammonia is highly water soluble gas so no effervesence) and Barium Chloride which is water soluble.

Ba(OH)2 +NH4Cl ——->BaCl2 + NH3 +H2O (unbalanced)
