Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hydrolysis reaction of NH4Cl with water produces NH4+ and Cl- ions. The NH4+ ion can react with water to form NH3 and H3O+ ions:

NH4+ + H2O -> NH3 + H3O+

The Cl- ion does not react with water, so it remains as Cl- in the solution. Therefore, the species formed in the hydrolysis reaction are NH4+, NH3, H3O+, and Cl-.

Option C is the best choice because it includes all of these species in the correct stoichiometric ratios. Option A includes NS1U1B12S1U1B0 and HS1U1B12S1U1B0, which are not valid chemical species, and Option B includes OHS1U1P1-S1S1P0, which should be written as OH- and H2O. Option D includes NHS1U1B15S1U1B0S1U1P12, which is not a valid chemical species, and Option E includes ClOH, which is not expected to form in this reaction.
