Question

$pH$ of an aqueous solution of $N{H}_{4}Cl$ is:

• A. $7$
• B. $>7$
• C. $<7$
• D. $1$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $<7$

Aqueous solution of $N{H}_{4}Cl$ produces

$N{H}_{4}Cl+H_{2}O⟶N{H}_{4}OH+HCl$

$N{H}_{4}OH$ is weak base and $HCl$ is strong acid. So the resultant solution have $pH<7$ i.e. acidic.
