- (B) The reaction of these two chemicals results in the production of
ammonium hydroxide, which is unstable and forms ammonia gas and H 2 O.
The reaction is: 2NH 4 Cl + Ca(OH) 2 → 2NH 4 OH + CaCl 2
Then, because the ammonium hydroxide is unstable at room
temperatures, this reaction occurs: NH 4 OH → NH 3 ↑ + H 2 O.
