MHT CET2010ChemistryIonic Equilibrium
NH ₄ Cl is acidic due to
Options
- Acationic hydrolysis
- Banionic hydrolysis
- Cits ionic nature
- DpH >7
Correct answer
A. cationic hydrolysis
Step-by-step solution
NH ₄ Cl + H ₂ O NH ₄ OH + HCl Or array l NH ₄⁺+ Cl ⁻+ H ₂ O NH ₄ OH + H ⁺+ Cl ⁻ or NH ₄⁺+ H ₂ O NH ₄ OH + H ⁺ array cation Due to the presence of H ⁺ , after cationic hydrolysis, in the solution, the solution of NH ₄ Cl is acidic.
