(b) Name the acid and base from which the following salts have been formed.
(i) Sodium acetate
(ii) Ammonium chloride
(1) Sodium acetate can be prepared from acetic acid (acid) and sodium hydroxide (base). Following is the chemical equation for the reaction
CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O
(2) Ammonium chloride can be prepared from ammonium hydroxide (base) and Hydrochloric Acid (acid). Following is the chemical equation for the reaction
NH4OH + HCl → NH4Cl + H2O
