Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate is basic.
Statement (II): Acidic/basic nature of salt solution of a salt of weak acid and weak base depends on 
and 
value of acid and the base forming it.
choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate contains ammonium hydroxide and carbonic acid.
As ammonium hydroxide is a more strong base as compared to the acidic strength of carbonic acid, the solution has basic nature.
The pH of salt of a weak acid and a weak base is calculated by the formula.
