  • Balancing Chemical Equations: Ammonium Hydroxide and Hydrobromic Acid
    Here's how to write the balanced equation for the reaction of ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) with hydrobromic acid (HBr):

    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)
