  • A
    $C{H_3}COONa$
  • $N{H_4}Cl$
  • C
    $NaCl$
  • D
    $C{H_3}COON{H_4}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$N{H_4}Cl$
(b)$N{H_4}Cl + {H_2}O$ $ \rightleftharpoons $ $\mathop {N{H_4}OH}\limits_{{\rm{Weak}}\,\,\,{\rm{base}}} + \mathop {HCl}\limits_{{\rm{Strong}}\,\,\,{\rm{acid}}} $. So it is acidic in nature.
