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.

What is entropy?</h3>
Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderliness of a system.
Entropy is also the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.
S = ΔH/T
where;
- S is entropy
- ΔH is energy input
- T is temperature
Entropy increases in reactions in which the total number of product molecules is greater than the total number of reactant molecules.
However, entropy increases as temperature increases. Thus, heating up the reaction will increase the entropy of a reaction.
