Ca(OH)2(s) + 2NH4Cl(g) → CaCl2(s) + 2H2O2(l) + X. In the reaction above X is
Answer Details
In the given chemical equation, the reactants are solid calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and gaseous ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). When they react, they form solid calcium chloride (CaCl2), liquid water (H2O), and X, an unknown product.
To determine the identity of X, we need to balance the chemical equation first.
The balanced chemical equation is:
Ca(OH)2(s) + 2NH4Cl(g) → CaCl2(s) + 2H2O(l) + 2NH3(g)
As per the balanced chemical equation, the product X is 2 molecules of ammonia (NH3).
Therefore, the answer is (b) NH3.
