• NH4Cl
• NaNO3

Hope it helps you

Answer 2

Explanation:

NH4Cl

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.

NaNO3

NaNO3 is a salt formed by the reaction of acid - HNO3 and base - NaOH. The nature of the salt is neutral. We know, when acid and base reacts, a neutralisation reaction occurs along with the formation of salt and water. Also, we know that both the acid and base are strong, so the salt formed is a neutral one.
