Question

Ammonia gas dissolves in water according to the following equation:

NH3(g)+H2O(l)NH4+(aq)+OH(aq)+ energy; K=1.8×105\mathrm{NH}_3(g)+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l) \rightleftarrows \mathrm{NH}_4^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q)+\text { energy; } K=1.8 \times 10^{-5}

______________a. Is aqueous ammonia an acid or a base?

______________b. Is the equation given above an example of hydrolysis?

______________c. For the given value of KK, does the equilibrium favor the forward or reverse reaction?
