There are 4 hydrogen atoms in the ammonium ion (NH4+) and 3 hydrogen atoms in the acetate ion (C2H3O2-), giving a total of 7 hydrogen atoms in one molecule of ammonium acetate (NH4C2H3O2).
There are 4 hydrogen atoms in one molecule of ammonium acetate (NH4C2H3O2).
According to Wikipedia, the formula for ammonium acetate is CH3COONH4 (or C2H4O2.NH3 or C2H7NO2). According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) the formula for ammonium acetate is C2H7NO2.
Yes, ammonium acetate is an example of a zwitterion. A zwitterion is a molecule that contains both positive and negative charged groups, and in the case of ammonium acetate, it contains a positively charged ammonium group and a negatively charged acetate group.
Ammonium acetate is a compound that consists of the cation ammonium (NH4+) and the anion acetate (CH3COO-). It is not a metal or nonmetal itself, but it is made up of both a metal (ammonium, which includes a positively charged nitrogen atom) and a nonmetal (acetate, which includes carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms).
When you neutralize vinegar (acetic acid, CH3COOH) with ammonia (NH3), the reaction forms ammonium acetate (CH3COONH4), water (H2O), and heat. The reaction can be represented as CH3COOH + NH3 → CH3COONH4 + H2O. Ammonium acetate is a salt that is commonly used in laboratory settings for various purposes.
