`NH_(4)Cl` is acidic due toA. cationic hydrolysisB. anionic hydrolysisC. its ionic natureD. pH `gt` 7

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`NH_(4)Cl + H_(2) O to NH_(4)OH + HCl`
or
`NH_(4)^(+) + Cl^(-) + H_(2)O to NH_(4) OH + H^(+) + Cl^(-) `
or `underset("cation") (NH_(4)^(+)) + H_(2)O to NH_(4)OH + H^(+)`
Due to the presence of `H^(+)` , after cationic hydrolysis , in the solution , the solution of `NH_(4)Cl` is acidic .
