2 NH₃ + H₂SO₄ → (NH₄)₂SO₄
This reaction produces ammonium sulfate ((NH₄)₂SO₄), a salt that is commonly used as a fertilizer.
Here's a breakdown:
* 2 NH₃: Two molecules of ammonia are needed to react with one molecule of sulfuric acid.
* H₂SO₄: One molecule of sulfuric acid.
* (NH₄)₂SO₄: One molecule of ammonium sulfate is produced.
Explanation:
Ammonia is a base, and sulfuric acid is an acid. When they react, they undergo a neutralization reaction, forming a salt and water. In this case, the water is not explicitly shown in the equation because it is formed as a byproduct and doesn't significantly affect the overall reaction.
