Best Answer

No it is not.

Examples of Acids, Bases, Alkali and Salt.

Hydrochloric Acid is an Acid. All Acids end with the word "Acid"

Copper (II) Oxide is a base. All bases end with the word "Oxide"

Copper (II) Hydroxide is an Alkali. All Alkali end with the word "Hydroxide". An alkali is basically a soluble base.

The rest would be salts.

In this case, Ammonium Chloride is a salt.

ammonium iodide = NH4I
NH4+ is the conjugate acid of the weak base NH3. It is acidic.
I- is the anion of the strong acid, HI. It is neutral.

Therefore the solution is acidic with a pH < 7.
