Not always ammonium salts of weak acids form neutral solutions.
When formic acid reacts with ammonia, ammonium formate is produced:
HCO2H + NH3 ----> NH4HCO2
You already know that the weak conjugate bases of NH3 and HCO2H are NH4+ and HCO2, respectively.
How can the pH of the solution be calculated if the salt's anion causes the pH to rise and the salt's cation causes it to fall? The relative intensities of the basic anion and the acidic cation hold the key to the solution.
As was already established, formate is a weak base and will create hydroxide ions in water, whereas ammonium is a weak acid and will make hydronium ions in water.
NH4⁺ + H2O -----> NH3 + H3O⁺
HCO2⁻ + H2O -----> HCO2H + OH⁻
Since the acid ionization of NH4+ is more favored than the base ionization of HCO2-, the solution will be acidic.

Answer:
please I think the answer is A.
please show appreciation if it helps
and sorry if it doesn't help.
Based on location in the periodic table, fluorine (F) has chemical properties that are most similar to iodine.
In the periodic table, elements are classified in groups and periods. The elements in the same group are chemically similar and they have the same number of valence electrons. Elements in the same period have the same highest energy level.
Hence, when looking for an element that is most chemically similar to iodine, we have to consider the element that is in the same group with iodine.
Both fluorine are iodine are both in group 17 hence, fluorine is most chemically similar to iodine.

Solve these problems like weighted averages:
The first one:
Multiply the masses (isotope numbers) by the decimal form of the percentage. Add them
0.076 (6) + 0.924 (7) = 6.924
The second one:
0.2 (10) + 0.8 (11) = 10.8
If you think about it, these answers make sense. 6.924 is much closer to 7 than to 6 (since there's a lot more lithium-7 than there is lithium-6). 10.8 is closer to 11 than to 10.
Answer:
25.35%
Explanation:
Again let me restate the the equation of the reaction;
H2O (ℓ) + 2 MnO4 - (aq) + 3 CN- (aq) → 2 MnO2 (s) + 3 CNO- (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)
Amount of potassium permanganate reacted = 10.2/1000 * 0.08035 = 8.1957 * 10^-4 moles
If 2 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 3 moles of CN-
8.1957 * 10^-4 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 8.1957 * 10^-4 * 3/2
= 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN-
Mass of CN- reacted = 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN- * 26.02 g/mol
= 0.03 g
Hence, percentage of the cyanide = 0.03 g/0.1183 g * 100
= 25.35%
