Answer:
Yes , a solution of NH4CL is acidic.
Explanation:
Because NH4CL is created from a strong acid called HCL and a weak base called NH4OH. So, the solution becomes acidic as the solution contains more Hydrogen ions [H+] than Hydroxide ions [OH-].
HCL (aq) + NH4OH (aq) ---> NH4CL (aq) + H2O
NH4OH is a weak base, and thus not all of it can dissolve in the water completely. On the other hand, HCL is a strong acid which completely dissolves in water. So there will obviously be more Hydrogen ions [H+] , that are making the solution acidic.
