Answer #1

NH4NO3 is the formula of ammonium nitrate. the PH of the solution will decrease

as ammonia is a weak base, so when NH4NO3 placed into water, then NH4+ ions and NO3- ion will produce, but NH4+ will equilibrates with dissolved ammonia gas and release the H+ ion. making the sligt acidic charecter of water

NH4+ = NH3 + H+

Thus there are more hydrogen ions and the solution is acid, not neutral as would be the case for salts such as NaCl.
