Ionic Equilibrium Question 4
Question 4 - 2024 (27 Jan Shift 1)
Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : Aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate is basic.
Statement (II) : Acidic/basic nature of salt solution of a salt of weak acid and weak base depends on $K_{a}$ and $K_{b}$ value of acid and the base forming it.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
(1) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
(2) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
(3) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
(4) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
