A buffer contains significant amounts of ammonia and ammoniiumchloride. Write an equation showing how this buffer neutralizes addedacid (HCl) Write an equation showing how this buffer neutralizes addedbase (NaOH) A buffer contains significant amounts of ammonia and ammoniiumchloride. Write an equation showing how this buffer neutralizes addedacid (HCl) Write an equation showing how this buffer neutralizes addedbase (NaOH)

Explanation / Answer

When acid (HCl) is added, the base component of buffer(NH3) works HCl + NH3 -> NH4Cl When base (NaOH) is added, the acidic component of buffer(NH4Cl) works NaOH + NH4Cl -> NaCl + NH4OH NH4OH in turns generate ammonia and water NH4OH -> NH3 + H2O Hope this helps!
