Question

explain why an aqueous solution of Ammonium Chloride is acidic in nature​

Answer 1

Answer :

Ammonium chloride is a salt of a strong acid (HCl) and a weak base (NH3). ... The presence of such additional hydrogen ions that are formed due to hydrolysis is responsible for the distinct acidic nature of an aqueous solution of a salt of a strong acid and a weak base like ammonium chloride.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate here's your answer

Explanation:

NH4Cl, when dissolved in water, shows a different behavior. As mentioned in the other answer, NH4Cl is an “acidic” salt, formed by the neutralization of a strong acid (HCl) with a weak base (NH3). Therefore, when the salt is completely dissociated in an aqueous solution, it forms NH4+ and Cl- ions.
