Why is ammonium chloride solution acidic?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is a salt of a strong acid and a weak base

The governing concept is salt hydrolysis. Ammonium chloride is formed from strong hydrochloric acid and the weak base ammonium hydroxide. In water, NH₄⁺ reacts partially with water: NH₄⁺ + H₂O ⇌ NH₃ + H₃O⁺. The hydronium ions make the solution acidic, so option A is correct. It is not a pure base, and the salt does ionise in water.
