Answer 2

The assertion is true but the reason is false.

• The chemical formula of ammonium nitrate is $NH_4NO_3$.
• It is a salt of strong acid $HNO_3$ or nitric acid and weak base $NH_4Cl$ or ammonium chloride.
• Thus it will pose a more acidic character than a basic character.
• In an aqueous solution, it dissociates to give nitrate ion and turns the blue litmus to red.
