Ammonium bicarbonate dissolved in water (a chemistry question)
Thread Content
Looking at the information on the properties of ammonium bicarbonate NH4HCO3, it is stated that ammonium bicarbonate dissolves easily in water. So, when ammonium bicarbonate dissolves in water, does it remain ammonium bicarbonate? Is no reaction occurring to form anything else? Thank you
It is a salt of a strong base and a weak acid; when dissolved in water, its pH is greater than 7, so there will be changes
