Question
Assertion (A): Aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate is basic.
Reason (R): Acidic/basic nature of a salt solution of a salt of weak acid and weak base depends on Ka and Kb value of the acid and the base forming it.
Options
Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
Both A and R are false.
Solution
Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Ka and Kb values are responsible for acidic and basic characters of substances.
