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:
Ammonia in the gaseous form or in aqueous solution neutralises acids forming the respective ammonium salts because it is basic in nature.
2O3→3O2
The number of moles of O2 that are produced when 0.50 moles of O3(g) reacted is 0.75 moles
calculation and explanation
2 moles of O3(ozone) react to give 3 moles of O2 (oxygen gas,therefore the reacting ratio between O3 :O2 is 2:3
if 0.50 moles of O3 reacted then,by use of reacting ratio (2:3) find the moles of O2 produced
That is 0.50 x3/2 = 0.75 moles

Answer:
B) The north and south Poles
Explanation:
when dealing with magnets they have a negative and Positive charge on their south and north poles. Negative attacks with positive and positive with negative so both poles on each magnet should react to each other
