anonymous · Answer

A.decrease the concentration of NH4OH
B.cause the temperature to greatly increase
C.decrease the concentration of OH-
D.increase the rate of the reaction to the right
E.not disturb the equilibrium

chmvijay · Answer

NH4OH==== NH4+ + OH-
the above reaction is in equllibrium

NH4Cl ------->NH4+  + Cl-
where as this ionizes completely in water then which ions will be more on the right side 
its based on common ion effect and lechtaliers principal
