Which of the following salts gives an aqueous solution with pH less than 7?
ASodium carbonate
BSodium chloride
CSodium bicarbonate
DAmmonium chloride
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Ammonium chloride

2. Ammonium chloride comes from HCl (strong acid) and ammonia (weak base).
3. Its aqueous solution is therefore acidic, with pH less than 7.
