Which of the following salts produces an acidic solution when dissolved in water?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ammonium chloride

Ammonium chloride is formed from the strong acid HCl and the weak base ammonia. In water, the \(NH_4^+\) ion reacts with water and increases the concentration of \(H_3O^+\) ions, so the solution is acidic. Sodium carbonate and sodium acetate are salts of a weak acid and a strong base, so they give basic solutions. Sodium chloride, a salt of a strong acid and a strong base, is nearly neutral. Exam tip: salts formed from a strong acid and a weak base are generally acidic.
