Hydrochloric acid neutralises ammonium hydroxide to make ammonium chloride.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) can neutralize ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) to form ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and water. The reaction involves the H+ ions from the acid reacting with the OH− ions from the base to form water, while the remaining ions combine to form the salt.
No, ammonium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid will not form a precipitate when mixed together. The reaction between them will result in the formation of ammonium chloride, which will remain dissolved in the solution.
The acid required is Hydrochloric Acid and the base is Ammonium Hydroxide (Ammonia solution in water). If the acid and base are very concentrated and merely placed close to each other, the vapours from them will react immediately to form white clouds of ammonium chloride particles.
Ammonium itself is not an acid or a base; it is a positively charged ion (NH4+). Ammonium hydroxide, on the other hand, is a weak base due to the presence of the hydroxide ion (OH-) in its chemical structure.
No, ammonium chloride is not considered a strong acid. It is a weak acid.
The word equation for the reaction between nitric acid (HNO3) and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) is: nitric acid + ammonium hydroxide → ammonium nitrate + water.
