Question

Explain why ammonium chloride can act as a weak acid. Write the chemical equation that shows how this substance can produce hydrogen ions in water. Explain why a solution of acetic acid and sodium acetate can act as a buffer. Write the chemical equation showing how the buffer reacts with hydrogen ions added from a strong acid. Write the chemical equation showing how the buffer reacts with hydroxide ions added from a strong base.

Explanation / Answer

BECAUSE THIS IS FORMED BY THE REACTION WITH HCL AND NH4OH WHIS IS STRONG BASE . NH4Cl(s) ----> [NH4]+(aq) + [Cl]-(aq) IN THIS NH4OH FORMS WITH OH OF WATER THEN H+ REMAINS IN WATER 2)Because the acetate ion shifts the equilibrium away from the H+ ion,maintaining a balanced pH.
