a. NH3(aq) + NO3?(aq) --> NH2-(aq) + HNO3(aq)

b. NH4+(aq) + H+(aq) --> NH52+(aq)

c. NH2-(aq) + H+(aq) --> NH3(aq)

d. NH4+(aq) + NO3?(aq) --> NH4NO3(aq)

e. NH3(aq) + H+(aq) --> NH4+(aq)

Answer:

The correct answer is

e. NH3(aq) + H+(aq) --> NH4+(aq)

Explanation:

To solve this, we write out the indidual ionization reation for aqueous ammonia and nitric acid thus

For aqueous ammonia we have

NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ↔ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Aqueous ammonia is a weak base and therefore undergoes partial ionization hence the reversible reaction sign

As the level of ionization will not be more than 5% OH⁻ cannot represebt the weak base

For nitric acid we have

HNO₃(aq) → H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

a strong acid like nitric acid undergoes conplete ionization in the solution

The total equation is NH₃(aq) + HNO₃(aq) → NH₄NO₃(aq)

The sum of the ionic equation is

NH₃(aq) + H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

The ionic equation is

NH₃(aq) + H⁺(aq) →  NH₄⁺(aq)

Answer:

D. NH4+(aq) + NO3?(aq) --> NH4NO3(aq).

Explanation:

Reaction between ammonia and Nitric acid is a acid and base reaction where ammonia is the base while Nitric acid is the acid.

NH3(aq) + HNO3(aq) --> NH4NO3(aq)

Ionic equation:

NH3(aq) + H+(aq) --> NH4+(aq)

Net ionic equation

NH4+(aq) + NO3(aq) --> NH4NO3(aq)
