If solutions of nh4cl(aq) and nh3(aq) are mixed, which ions in the resulting solution are spectator ions in any acid-base chemistry occurring in the solution?

ionsact as spectator ions if solutions of and are mixed.

Further explanation:

Buffer solution offers resistance to any changes in their pH if strong acid or base is added to them. These are usually aqueous solution consisting of weak acid and its conjugate base.

Buffers can be acidic or basic as described below.

Acidic buffer:

These solutions have pH less than 7 and are formed by weak acid and its conjugate base.

Basic buffer:

These solutions have pH more than 7 and are formed by weak base and its conjugate acid.

Spectator ions are those ions that are present in same form on both sides of the chemical reaction. In other words, these ions do not participate in chemical reactions and cannot affect the reaction equilibrium. Since these are not involved in overall chemical reaction, spectator ions are not included while writing net ionic equations for any chemical reaction.

If solutions of and are mixed, it results in the formation of buffer . is a salt of weak acid and its dissociation occurs as follows:

The reaction of given buffer can be written as follows:

Since  ions are not involved in net chemical reaction for buffer solution of and , these ions act as spectator ions.

igneous rock CAN become sedimentary rock through a process called ROCK CYCLE.

Explanation:

Rocks can be defined as solid structures of minerals that are formed naturally over a period of time. They are grouped into three main types which includes the following:

- igneous rock

- sedimentary rocks and

- metamorphic rocks.

Rocks are capable of transforming from one type to another through a process known as rock cycle. There are two forces that brings about this process which includes:

- The internal force : this is the Earth’s internal heat engine, which moves material around in the core and the mantle and leads to slow but significant changes within the crust.

- The external force: this is the the hydrological cycle, which is the movement of water, ice, and air at the surface, and is powered by the sun.

Molten magma cools to form either extrusive igneous rock or intrusive igneous rock. With time they undergo weathering, eroded, transported, and then deposited as sediments which are being compressed and cemented into SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. Again through the above mentioned forces, different kinds of rocks are either uplifted, to be re-eroded, or buried deeper within the crust where they are heated up, squeezed, and changed into METAMORPHIC ROCK.

Therefore the material in this sedimentary rock found in Rhombus planet used to be in igneous rock deep in Rhombus's interior due to continuous rock cycling on the planet. I hope this helps, thanks.
