acid. For example, in ammonium chloride solution, is the main influence for acidic solution. It has greater value compared to that of water molecules; of is , and of is . This ensures its deprotonation when reacting with water, and is responsible for the pH below 7 at room temperature. will have no affinity for nor tendency to hydrolyze, as its value is very low ( of is ). Hydrolysis of ammonium at room temperature produces: NH4+_{(aq)}\ + H2O_{(aq)} <=> NH3_{(aq)}\ + H3O+_{(aq)} See also Alkali salt Salt (chemistry) Oxoacid Sodium bicarbonate Sodium bisulfate Disodium phosphate Monosodium phosphate References Salts Acids
