If some NH₄Cl is added to an aqueous solution of NH₃: A) the pH of the solution will increase B) the pH of the solution will decrease C) the solution will not have pH D) the pH of the solution will not change E) NH₄Cl cannot be added to NH₃

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding NH4Cl to an NH3 solution introduces NH4+ ions, which can donate protons (H+) to the solution, thus increasing the concentration of H+ ions and decreasing the pH.
