Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl) is added to an aqueous solution of Ammonia containing phenolphthalein indicator. Phenolphthalein is pink in the presence of OH- ions, but clear otherwise. When Ammonia (NH3) is dissolved in water, it forms the following equilibrium system: NH3(g) + H2O(l) â…¤ NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq) Using Le Chatelier's principle, explain why the addition of NH4Cl causes the solution to turn clear.

add NH4Cl to a test tube with NH3. Use the dissociation of the salt to illustrate the shift in the weak base reaction and show the equilibria expression.

Given the reaction: NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH-1 if NaOH is added to the solution, what will happen to the NH4+ concentration? increase decrease remain the same Given the reaction: NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH-1 if NH4Cl is added to the solution, what will happen to the OH-1 concentration? increase decrease remain the same Given the reaction: NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH-1 if Al(NO3)3 is added to the solution, what will happen to the NH4+1 concentration? (Hint: remember the last solubility rule) increase decrease remain the same Given the reaction: NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH-1 if HNO3 is added to the solution, what will happen to the NH4+1 concentration? (Hint: remember what happens when H3O+ and OH- are in the beaker together) increase decrease remain the same
