Look at the chemical reaction below.

Ammonium hydroxide [tex]$ \rightarrow $[/tex] ammonia + water

[tex]NH_4OH \rightarrow NH_3 + H_2O[/tex]

In this reaction:
Ammonia [tex](NH_3)[/tex] is a [tex]$\square$[/tex].
Ammonium hydroxide [tex](NH_4OH)[/tex] is a [tex]$\qquad$[/tex].


Sagot :

In the given chemical reaction:

[tex]\[ \text{ammonium hydroxide} \rightarrow \text{ammonia} + \text{water} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ NH_4OH \rightarrow NH_3 + H_2O \][/tex]

To identify the roles of the substances involved in the reaction, let's look at each component:

- Ammonium hydroxide [tex]\((NH_4OH)\)[/tex] is the substance that is present before the reaction takes place. This means it is a starting material or a reactant.

- Ammonia [tex]\((NH_3)\)[/tex] is the substance that is formed as a result of the reaction. This indicates that it is one of the products of the reaction.

Therefore:

Ammonia [tex]\((NH_3)\)[/tex] is a product.

Ammonium hydroxide [tex]\((NH_4OH)\)[/tex] is a reactant.
