pH of an aqueous solution of NH 4 Cl is

Question

pH of an aqueous solution of NH 4 Cl is (A) 7 (B) >7 (C) < 7 (D) 1

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Ammonium chloride is a salt of weak base ( NH 3) and strong acid ( HCl ) hence, it is acidic in nature. NH 3+ HCl longrightarrow NH 4 Cl pH of NH 4 Cl <7

Q. $p H$ of an aqueous solution of $N H_{4} Cl$ is

7

>7

< 7

Ammonium chloride is a salt of weak base $(N H_{3})$ and strong acid $(H Cl)$ hence, it is acidic in nature.

$N H_{3} + H Cl ⟶ N H_{4} Cl$

$p H$ of $N H_{4} Cl < 7$

Q. pH of an aqueous solution of NH4​Cl is

Ammonium chloride is a salt of weak base (NH3​) and strong acid (HCl) hence, it is acidic in nature. NH3​+HCl⟶NH4​Cl pH of NH4​Cl<7

Q. $p H$ of an aqueous solution of $N H_{4} Cl$ is

Ammonium chloride is a salt of weak base $(N H_{3})$ and strong acid $(H Cl)$ hence, it is acidic in nature.

$N H_{3} + H Cl ⟶ N H_{4} Cl$

$p H$ of $N H_{4} Cl < 7$
