I have to write the complete ionic equation, list the spectator ions, and write the net ionic equation for [tex]H_2SO_4(aq) + NH_4OH(aq)[/tex]
I thought I should attempt to write out the balanced chemical equation so this is what I got.
[tex]H_2SO_4(aq) + 2NH_4OH(aq) \longrightarrow SO_4(NH_4)_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l)[/tex]
I just don't feel right about putting [tex](NH_4)_2(aq)[/tex] with [tex]SO_4(aq)[/tex] I don't know why...
I won't bother writing out what I got for the complete ionic equation, spectator ions, and net ionic equation since it would all be wrong if my balanced chemical reaction was wrong.
Can someone please help me with this first step though. Many many thanks.
