Answer 2

Answer:

The odd one is Ammonium chloride

Explanation:

Ammonium chloride is acidic salt while sodium sulphate, sodium chloride, and potassium nitrate are neutral salts. Ammonium chloride is highly soluble in water and its colour is white. The other salts are neutral when the strong acid and base solution soluble in water.

For example, sodium chloride is formed when strong acid HCl and the base solution NaOH. And, it is dissolved in water, a salt contains peer amount of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. This is the reason they are called neutral salts.
