Question

Indicate the correct answer out of the following for the reaction:<br>NH₄Cl + H₂O ⇌ NH₄OH + HCl

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

The reaction represents the hydrolysis of NH₄Cl: NH₄⁺ + H₂O ⇌ NH₄OH + H⁺. The addition of hydrogen ions (H⁺ or HCl) increases product concentration, shifting the equilibrium backward (retarding the forward reaction) according to Le Chatelier's principle. Therefore, correct answer is C.
