ammonia + water -> aqueous ammonia
the equation i dunnoe how to write.
simi oxygen welding...oso dunnoe.
hydrogen chloride dissolves in water, equation oso dunnoe
NH3(g) + H2O(l) --> NH4OH(aq)
Hydrogen Chloride dissolves in water to gives Hydrochloric acid.Edited by Darkness_hacker99 24 Oct `07, 4:53PM

HCl + H2O --> H2O2 + Cl2 + H2
I balanced in test paper. But not gona balanced here.
I wiki-ed, H2O2, hydrogen peroxide is weak acid. Cl2, to the right of the periodic table, also acid. I think. Not sure.

HCl is very soluble in water (and in other polar solvents).
Upon contact, H2O and HCl combine to form hydronium cations H3O+ and chloride anions Cl- through a reversible chemical reaction:
HCl + H2O ¨ H3O+ + Cl−

I still believe that the product is Hydrochloric acid.
As for why is the solution acidic, the correct answer I supposed. is because of the presence of Hydrogen ion.
The front statement "...to form an acidic solution..." acts as a smokescreen, but it's actually testing you on the knowledge of what gives acids it's property.
For this case, it's because of the Hydrogen ions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_chlorideHydronium cation H3O+ is not under O level syllabus.

In your question, it is assumed that the term acid refers to Bronsted acid.
You think too much... too complicated

me took the paper too.
lost much marks on mole question, and the hydrogen chloride question too.
and i wrote ammonia + water -> ammonium hydroxide

why molten state ionic compound can conduct electricity?
i wanted to write the txtbk says so, but dint lah
made a wild guess that electricity can pass through
the spaces the ions have between them..
haiz, section B was rather easy though
