1. Write the unbalanced equation:
NH4OH (aq) + HBr (aq) → ?
2. Identify the products:
This is a classic acid-base neutralization reaction. The products will be a salt (ammonium bromide) and water:
NH4OH (aq) + HBr (aq) → NH4Br (aq) + H2O (l)
3. Balance the equation:
The equation is already balanced. There is one nitrogen, one bromine, five hydrogens, and one oxygen on each side.
The balanced chemical equation is:
NH4OH (aq) + HBr (aq) → NH4Br (aq) + H2O (l)
