Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Ammonium acetate is a salt of weak acid acetic acid and weak base ammonia. Ammonium acetate 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 $C H_{3} C O O N H_{4}$ is found to be neutral.
Hence, Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
