NH4NO2 and NH4CN which has a higher pH?

Answer 1

A solution of NH4CN will generally have a higher pH. It is a mildly basic salt while NH4NO3 is mildly acidic.

Answer 2

NH4NO2 has a higher pH than NH4CN. NH4NO2 is the salt of a weak acid (nitrous acid) and a strong base (ammonia), resulting in a basic pH. NH4CN is the salt of a weak acid (hydrocyanic acid) and a weak base (ammonia), resulting in a slightly acidic pH.
