Question

an aqueous solution of the salt ammonium chloride is acidic in nature while an aqueous solution of sodium chloride is neutral.please give reason fast...

Answer 1

In aqueous solution, salts breakdown into their constituent acid and base, called salt hydrolysis.
Aqueous Sol. of ammonium chloride -
NH4Cl + H2O ======> HCl + NH3
HCl is strong acid therefore solution is acidic.

Aqueous Sol. of sodium chloride -
NaCl + H2O =======> HCl + NaOH
HCl is strong acid and NaOH is strong base therefore they neutralizes each other and Sol. becomes neutral.

I hope this will help u..

Answer:

Explanation:

In aqueous solution, salts breakdown into their constituent acid and base, called salt hydrolysis.
