explain your results.
a. NH4Cl
b. NaCl
c. MgCO3
d. NaH2PO4
e. KNO3
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
NH4Cl + H2O --> NH4OH + HCl (acidic)
NaCl + H2O --> NaOH + HCl (neutral)
MgCO3 + H2O --> MgOH + HCO3 (basic)
NaH2PO4 + H2O --> NaOH + H3PO4 (basic)
KNO3 + H2O --> KOH + HNO3 (neutral)
Is this correct?
