Balancing Reaction of Formic Acid and Ammonium Hydroxide

[QUOTE="Borek, post: 5463316, member: 23711"] Not exactly. You don't use numbers of moles in the balanced reaction - only stoichiometric coefficients. So your reaction, when balanced, should look like NH[sub]3[/sub] + HCOOH → HCOONH[sub]4[/sub] (I am used to a bit different convention for writing carboxylic acids and their salts, nothing wrong with the one you use though). And then you can describe what is happening in your particular case. Eons ago I was trained to write it below the reaction equation (but formatting such things these days is getting ridiculously time consuming). And yes, there is 0.9 moles of the ammonia left after the reaction. [/QUOTE]
