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.

<h2>The baking of a Pizza be Categorize as Endothermic Process</h2>
The baking of a pizza should be categorized as an endothermic process because the dough absorbs heat. An endothermic process is a method that absorbs energy from its surroundings which is habitually in the form of energy.
It can be a biochemical process like solving the salt in water or just the melting of ice. Therefore, the dough absorbs heat and it is categorized as an endothermic process.
This example is an controversial matter because melting an candle is considered as both physical change and chemical change because no new substances were made by melting an candle. The final answer is C.
Keeping in mind a total ignorance of both the health benefits of these teas, and the interaction between milk and antioxidants, I believe that it is possible that milk could hinder these benefits.
Tea is usually a hot beverage. Milk, when added to this beverage, would easily dissolve. When a solute (milk) dissolves in a solvent (tea), the chemical properties of the resulting solution can become quite distinct from both of the original substances. It seems possible that the same chemical properties of tea that make it healthy could be altered by the addition of milk.
To figure out questions related to reacting moles/masses, the first step is always to write a complete balanced equation.
2Fe (s) + 3Cl2 (g) → 2FeCl3 (s)
Since Cl2 is the excess reactant, and Fe is the limiting reactant, we can simply find the number of moles of the product by comparing the mole ratio of the limiting reactant to the mole ratio of the product from the equation.
From the equation, mole ratio of Fe:FeCl3 = 2:2 = 1:1, the number of moles of product is exactly the same as the number of moles of the limiting reactant, which makes it 8 moles.
Note that if the mole ratio is not 1:1, you have to do some calculations to make sure the no. of moles is balanced at the end. Which means, if the mole ratio happened to be 1:2, the no. of moles of the product would be 8x2=16 instead.
So, your answer is 8 moles.
