it is an acidic salt due to NH4+ ions being weak acid (pKa=9.2)
NH4+ is NH3's conjugate acid. NH3 accepts H+ to become a Bronsted-Lowry base.
Dissolving in water = splitting in ionsCH3COONH4 --> CH3COO- + NH4+CH3COO-, acetate is a weak base: CH3COO- + H2O CH3COOH + OH-NH4+, ammonium is a weak acid: NH4+ + H2O NH3 + H3O+Totally in water: CH3COO- + NH4+ CH3COOH + NH3 and 2H2O H3O+ + OH-
The formic acid is a weak acid.
Citric acid is considered to be a weak acid.
NH4Br is a salt that dissociates completely in water to form NH4+ and Br- ions. Since it does not donate protons to the solution, it is not an acid.
The conjugate base for acid NH4+ is NH3 (ammonia). When NH4+ loses a proton, it forms NH3, which can act as a weak base in a chemical reaction.

NH4NO3 is not an acid; it is an ammonium salt of nitric acid. When dissolved in water, NH4NO3 dissociates into ammonium ions (NH4+) and nitrate ions (NO3-), making it a neutral salt solution.
The products of the acid-base reaction between NH3 and H2O are NH4+ and OH-. The conjugate acid-base pairs are NH3/NH4+ and H2O/OH-. For NH4 and CN-, no acid-base reaction occurs as CN- is a weak base that won't react with NH4+.
Ammonia is a base. It is a weak base that can accept a proton (H+) to form the ammonium ion (NH4+).
HSO4- is a stronger acid than NH4+
When a solution of sulfuric acid is added to a solution of ammonium, an acid-base reaction occurs. The sulfuric acid donates hydrogen ions (H+) to the ammonium ions (NH4+), forming ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2SO4]. This results in the formation of water and ammonium sulfate salt as the products of the reaction.
Water is amphoteric. It can act as a weak base or a weak acid. When it is acting as a weak acid, it donates a proton. For instance, it acts as such with ammonia: NH3 + H2O --> NH4+ + OH-
Salt, although i dont believe this molecule exists. NH3 in water can attract a proton from a H2O molecule and form NH4+ + OH-. This is called ammoniumhydroxide (NH4OH). Since the ammonia creates an OH- it is a base and the NH4+ is its conjegated acid.
well NH3 is a base that reacts with H2O to get NH4 + OH- NH3+ H2O-->NH4+ + OH- A conjugate base is the species formed when a Bronsted- Lowry base accepts a proton. NH4+ is the conjugate acid of NH3
A weak base. In solution, to a small extent, NH3 picks up a proton and becomes NH4 +, ammonium.
