Question

What is the difference between the chemical nature of an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride and an aqueous solution of ammonia?

• A. Aqueous hydrogen chloride is acidic while aqueous ammonia is neutral in nature.
• B. Aqueous hydrogen chloride is neutral while aqueous ammonia is basic in nature.
• C. Aqueous hydrogen chloride is acidic while aqueous ammonia is basic in nature.
• D. Aqueous hydrogen chloride is basic while aqueous ammonia is acidic in nature.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Aqueous hydrogen chloride is acidic while aqueous ammonia is basic in nature.

The major difference between the chemical nature of an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride and an aqueous solution of ammonia is:-

Aqueous in a chemical equation indicates that the substance exists as a solution in water. Aqueous hydrogen chloride is acidic while aqueous ammonia is basic in nature.
