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:
Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others because they have more nerve endings. It hurts when you bite your tongue because the sides of your tongue have a lot of nerve endings that are very sensitive to pain! The tongue, lips, and fingertips are the most touch-sensitive parts of the body. The parts of your skin that need to be most sensitive like your fingertips and your lips have more receptor cells in them than others less sensitive areas. The least sensitive skin on the human body is found in the heel area. This is because there are very few nerves in the heel to feel things. If there were too many nerves in our heels then walking would be far too painful.
Explanation:
<span>Take a look at this periodic table.
You start in the left upper corner (1s) then you go to the right untill you can't go further, then you go 1 row down and start at the left again.
So the order will be 1s,2s,2p,3s,3p,4s,3d,4p... etc</span>
O.N. of Na = +1
O.N. of O = -2
Let, O.N. of Tin = x
1*2 + x + -2*2 = 0
2+x-4 = 0
x-2 = 0
x = 2
SO OPTION C IS YOUR ANSWER......
