nh4cl breaks into ammonium hydroxide and hcl and for hcl is a strong acid the salt is acidic and in nacl case naoh and hcl are formed which are strong base and acid respectively so it is neutral
Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl) is a salt of a strong acid (HCl) and a weak base (NH4OH). Hence, in an aqueous solution, it shows acidic properties.
When mixed with water, it gets hydrolysed as follows.
NH4Cl + H2O ---> NH4OH + HCl
The salt and the strong acid (HCl) get ionised while the weak base (NH4OH) remains unionised.
NH4+ + Cl- + H2O ---> NH4OH + H+ + Cl-
Cancelling the Cl- ions from both sides.
NH4+ + H2O ---> NH4OH + H+
TheÂ?H+Â?ions left in the solution gives the solution it's acidic properties.
The ammonium ion will tend to release a hydrogen ion, making the solution slightly acidic.
Acid, since it donates its H+ to form H3O+
NH4Cl, an ammonium salt is chemically neutral, as it is formed by the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base.
in solid state it is a neutral salt but its aqueous solution is slightly acidic in nature.
Yes, it is slightly acidic due to hydrolysis.
No. NH4Cl is a salt, though it is weakly acidic.

Yes, it is slightly acidic due to hydrolysis.
The correct formula is NH4Cl. This compound can be found both as a solid and in an aqueous solution.
No. NH4Cl is a salt, though it is weakly acidic.
It can be both but ammonium chloride is usually purchased as a solid crystalline material.
Ammonium chloride is a compound; water solutions are acidic.
Nothing when the salt is neutral (NaCl) or acidic (NH4Cl)but with a basic salt (NaHCO3) an acid will neutralise it:H+ + (Cl- + Na+) + HCO3---> CO2 + H2O + (Cl- + Na+)
NH4Cl
An acidic salt is a salt produced from a strong acid reacting with a weak base, such as NH4Cl, which is formed from HCl and NH3.
