Answer 2

Answer:

Aqueous solution of CH3COONH4 is found to be neutral

Explanation:

Ammonium acetate is a salt of weak acid acetic acid and weak base ammonia. Ammonia acetic on hydrolysis produces ammonia and acetic acid both of which have an approximately equal degree of dissociation.

Hence,the ammonium acetate on hydrolysis gives an equal number of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions. Hence,the aqueous solution of CH3COONH4 is found to be neutral salt.
