Given that K, for acetic acid as `1.8 xx 10^(-5) and K_b ` of `NH_4 OH `as `1.8 xx 10^(-5) ` at `25^@ `C, predict the nature of aqueous solution of ammonium acetate.

A

Acidic

B

Basic

C

lightly acidic or basic

D

Neutral

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
As `k_a =K_b ` the solution is neutral
