01 - Synthesis of Ammonium Chloride

I decided to keep it simple for my first upload. I would love any suggestions to make the videos better in the future, so be sure to comment and let me know what you think!

Production of ammonium chloride using hydrochloric acid and ammonium hydroxide (ammonia). A simple, exothermic reaction that I decided to make as my first YouTube video. There will be plenty more (and more interesting) videos to come in the following weeks! Be sure to subscribe, rate, and comment! Thanks!!


I created this channel for the sole purpose to help spread the interest in science, mainly chemistry. The decline of scientific interest in the United States is rather disappointing. After I cruised YouTube a bit I noticed all the other channels similar to mine and I thought about canceling this channel; however, after thinking about the decline of science, I decided to keep making videos until I just run out of ideas.

What is the molar ratio of NH3 to HCl in this mixture? So basically, at first, the reaction is "stressed out" in the direction of the HCl, and then as you pour more in, it reaches an equilibrium, and the formation of gas ceases? Work brain! Work! (Face palm :P)

HELP! When I mix mine it forms this milky colloid on impact, it smokes but it makes this milky stuff fuck!

youre writing at the beginning HN4OH =/

just say NH3 not NH4OH, because the most ammonia just dissolves in water and dont dissociate.

for the rest, your videos are great :) myself I'll be doing lots of experiments once spring arrives but I have less privacy. let's just say that certain people in my house would be suspicious of ammonium perchlorate arriving in the mail :P

made this in school today... i was gonna try to find out what the exact ratio was in ml.. but school only had 1 mole.. and 4 mole HCl..

the nh4oh was 2% :/ idk what the hcl was probably 15%.. i can easily get 25% and i have 30% hcl (: can you tell me if theres any ratios for 25% NH4OH and 30% HCl..?
