write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, write only NR.

Question

Determine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, write only NR. NH₄Br

Answer 1

NH4Br dissociates in water to yield NH4¹⁺ and Br^1-.

NH4¹⁺ reacts with H2O in this way NH4¹⁺ + 2H2O <====> NH4OH + H3O¹⁺ thereby giving an acidic solution as NH4OH is a weal base. Br^1- is a spectator ion.
