Look at the chemical reaction below:

ammonium hydroxide → ammonia + water
[tex]\[ NH_4OH \rightarrow NH_3 + H_2O \][/tex]

In this reaction:
Ammonia (NH[tex]\(_3\)[/tex]) is a [tex]\(\square\)[/tex]
Ammonium hydroxide (NH[tex]\(_4\)[/tex]OH) is a [tex]\(\square\)[/tex]

To identify the roles of ammonia ([tex]\( NH_3 \)[/tex]) and ammonium hydroxide ([tex]\( NH_4OH \)[/tex]) in the chemical reaction [tex]\( NH_4OH \rightarrow NH_3 + H_2O \)[/tex], let's analyze the reaction step by step:

1. Understand the Reaction:
- The reaction begins with ammonium hydroxide ([tex]\( NH_4OH \)[/tex]) and produces ammonia ([tex]\( NH_3 \)[/tex]) and water ([tex]\( H_2O \)[/tex]).

2. Identify the Reactants and Products:
- In this chemical reaction, substances present at the start are called reactants, and substances formed as a result of the reaction are called products.
- Here, the reaction shows [tex]\( NH_4OH \)[/tex] on the left side of the arrow, indicating it is present before the reaction takes place. Thus, ammonium hydroxide ([tex]\( NH_4OH \)[/tex]) is the reactant.
- On the right side of the arrow, we have [tex]\( NH_3 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( H_2O \)[/tex], which are formed as a result of the reaction. Ammonia ([tex]\( NH_3 \)[/tex]) is one of these products.

3. Conclusion:
- Ammonia ([tex]\( NH_3 \)[/tex]) is a product of the reaction.
- Ammonium hydroxide ([tex]\( NH_4OH \)[/tex]) is a reactant in the reaction.

Thus, in the given reaction:
Ammonia [tex]\(\left( NH_3 \right) \)[/tex] is a product.
Ammonium hydroxide [tex]\(\left( NH_4OH \right)\)[/tex] is a reactant.
