New question

Explain, using a relevant equation, why ammonium chloride is an acidic salt.

..lol

Teacher probably skimmed over it.

But I didn't do chem so I don't know

I edited my response. Please don't rekt me, I do English studies for a reason lel

Ill have another go

Iirc, the composition is NH4Cl and when you do the pH thing, it is <7 so its acidic and it is a salt because chlorides are salts?

There's a question guyssssss

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I'm not even gonna..

Ammonium chloride is formed from ammonia (or ammonium hydroxide) and hydrochloric acid. The ammonium ion acts as a weak Bronsted–Lowry acid when dissolved in water. This equilibrium lies to the left as the hydronium ion is a stronger acid than ammonium ions and NH3 is a stronger base than water. The final solution is mildly acidic due to the presence of the hydronium ion.

NH4+(aq) + H2O(l) <> NH3(aq) + H3O+ (aq)

THIS IS THE PROBLEM IM HAVING. You are assuming something. How do you know NH4+ comes from ammonia and Cl- comes from hydrochloric acid? That is just one example. If you write that in your exam solution I'm sure you'd lose marks

amirite or amirate?

NH3 + H20 --> NH4+ + OH-

Then you say it releases NH4+ in water which is the WEAK conjugate acid of NH3.

Then

HCL + H2O ---> CL- + H3O+

Again HCL dissociates in water and produces it's EXTREMELY WEAK conjugate base Cl- chloride ion.

Now since WEAK>EXTREMELY WEAK


:. Be like the NH4Cl is acidic because it consists of a weak conjuaget acid NH4+ and EXTREMELEY weak conjugate base CL-

and you can also show iy

NH4Cl ---> NH4+ + Cl- (which is the dissociation of NH4Cl in water)

2 marks so don't go overboard with it

Oh crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said NH4+ is a strong conj. acid of a weak base T__T It's actually weak conj. acid of a weak base hahaha (your solution made me realise my misunderstanding). Thanks enigma_1

That's how most sample answers are written.

Excel does it, my teacher taught me as well.

no worries

just a reminder of stuff

if you have a WEAK acid/base, then it's conjugate is also WEAK
if EXTREMELY WEAK acid/base, then it's conjugate is STRONG
if STRONG acid/base, then it's conjugate is EXTREMELY WEAK

and that's it.

So they are both great books.

m666 Math sin focus ---> can't you see?? Clearly it says in the title of the book that it is a "sin". How much more explicit does it need to get?

Also, add "s" to the front of "excel" and you get something used as a marketing ploy. That's probs the only reason these books are sold.

You guys are making me insane, I've started analysing MIF...
