NH4Cl
Yes, it is slightly acidic due to hydrolysis.
- log(0.001 M NH4Cl) = 3 pH =====
It is a white crystalline salt that is highly soluble in water. Solutions of ammonium chloride are mildly acidic.
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.
It is a based, as indicated by the presence of the hydroxide (OH-) ion.

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 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 is a compound; water solutions are acidic.
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.
The line on the graph on The Chemistry Reference Table G indicates a saturated solution of NH4Cl has a concentration of 60. g NH4Cl/100. g H2O at 66 degrees celcius.
Assuming that the solvent is water, then NH4Cl (aq) is weakly acidic. This is because the Ammonium ion is Bronstead-Lowry acidic: it can donate H+ to give a neutral NH3 molecule. NH4(+) + H2O <----> NH3 + H20 + H(+) (Reversible reaction) If NH4Cl (ammonium chloride) is added to the solution, this will increase the concentration of NH4+. Since there is greater concentration of NH4(+), more H(+) ions will be released into solution, decreasing the pH, increasing the pOH, and thus making the solution acidic. Therefore a solution of any ammonium salt in water, not just ammonium chloride, is weakly acidic.
