Yes, it is slightly acidic due to hydrolysis.
A) NH4Cl will form an acidic solution in water because the ammonium ion (NH4+) is a weak acid that will dissociate in water to produce H+ ions, lowering the pH of the solution. The other compounds listed will either not affect the pH significantly or form basic solutions.
It is a white crystalline salt that is highly soluble in water. Solutions of ammonium chloride are mildly acidic.
- log(0.001 M NH4Cl) = 3 pH =====
It is a based, as indicated by the presence of the hydroxide (OH-) ion.
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

A salt solution can be acidic, basic, or neutral depending on the cation and anion present in the salt. For example, a solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) is neutral, while a solution of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is acidic and a solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is basic.
The solubility of NH4Cl in water at 50°C is approximately 74 grams per 100 grams of water. To make a saturated solution, you would need to dissolve 148 grams of NH4Cl in 200 grams of water.
Adding water to an acidic solution will dilute the concentration of hydrogen ions, causing the pH to increase. This is because the addition of water reduces the relative amount of H+ ions, making the solution less acidic.
The mass of the solution is given by the volume multiplied by the density: 575 ml * 1.05 g/ml = 603.75 g. Since the solution is 18% NH4Cl, the mass of NH4Cl in the solution is 0.18 * 603.75 g = 108.675 g. Therefore, 575 ml of the solution contains 108.675 g of NH4Cl.
NH4Cl is soluble in water, while AgCl is insoluble in water. To distinguish between the two, you could add water to the samples: NH4Cl will dissolve, forming a clear solution, while AgCl will remain as a solid precipitate at the bottom of the container.
No, a sugar and water solution is not inherently acidic. Sugar (sucrose) does not contain any free hydrogen ions to make the solution acidic. The pH of a sugar and water solution would be relatively neutral.
