Question

What pH is ${\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}$?

Answer 1

pH of ${\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}$:

• The quantitative measure of acidity or basicity of an aqueous or other liquid solution is called pH.
• ${\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}$ (Ammonium chloride) is an acidic salt.
• It is produced by the neutralization of strong acid i.e., Hydrochloric acid ($\mathrm{HCl}$) with a weak base i.e., Ammonium hydroxide (${\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{OH}$).
• The aqueous solution of ${\mathrm{NH}}_4\mathrm{Cl}$ is slightly acidic, having a pH value below $7$.
