What will be the pH of aqueous solution of NH4 Cl ?
NH4 Cl is a salt produced by the neutralization reaction between a strong acid (HCl) and a weak base (NH4OH). The reaction between them can be represented as follows:
HCL + NH4OH → NH4CL + H2O
Hydrolyses of NH4CL tales place as follows:
NH4 + + H2O → NH3 + H3O +
Its produces H3O + and that’s why the aqueous solutions of salt produced by neutralization of strong acid and a weak base are acidic in nature. Therefore, pH < 7.
