NH4Cl is acidic due to

Question

NH4Cl is acidic due to (A) cationic hydrolysis (B) anionic hydrolysis (C) its ionic nature (D)  pH > 7

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

NH 4 Cl + H 2 O → NH 4 OH + HCl or NH 4++ Cl -+ H 2 O→ NH 4 OH + H ++ Cl - or underset textcationNH+4+H2O → NH4OH +H+ Due to the presence of H +, after cationic hydrolysis, in the solution, the solution of NH 4 Cl is acidic.

Q. $N H_{4} Cl$ is acidic due to

cationic hydrolysis

anionic hydrolysis

its ionic nature

$p H > 7$

$N H_{4} Cl + H_{2} O \to N H_{4} O H + H Cl$

or $N H_{4}^{+} + C l^{-} + H_{2} O \to N H_{4} O H + H^{+} + C l^{-}$

or $cation N H_{4}^{+} + H_{2} O \to N H_{4} O H + H^{+}$

Due to the presence of $H^{+}$ , after cationic hydrolysis, in the solution, the solution of $N H_{4} Cl$ is acidic.
