Question
Predict the nature of solution when $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_3$ undergo hydrolysis.

Answer

$\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_3$ on hydrolysis gives $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}$ (weak base), $\mathrm{H}^{+}$and $\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}$( $\mathrm{HNO}_3$ is strong acid) since $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ions are more than $\mathrm{OH}^{-}$.
$\therefore$ Solution is acidic.
