Question

how to make ammonium nitrate explain which is strong base weak base ​

Answer 1

Answer:

When in solution, ammonium nitrate will dissociate very well into NH4+ and NO3-. The ammonium ion is a Bronsted-Lowery acid in that it will donate an H+ to solution. In turn, this forms ammonia(NH3). Ammonia being a weak base will accept hydrogen ions from the solution, but not all of them. In conclusion, the solution will form an equilibrium where the pH is slightly acidic due to H+ ions being loose in solution.

The chemical equations:

NH4NO3(s) ==> NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

NH4+(aq) <==> NH3(aq) + H+(aq)

(The second equation favors products slightly due to the presence of NO3- continuously joining with the H+ ions and then separating again. This is what causes an acidic pH.)
