Research on the acidity and alkalinity of ammonium acetate
. There are differences between acid and base. Ammonium acetate is an acid base and should be studied.

Ammonium acetate is a salt of acetate ion ($CH_3COO ^ - $) and ammonium ion ($NH_4 ^ + $). Acetate ions can be hydrolyzed in water, combined with hydrogen ions of water ($H ^ + $), acetic acid ($CH_3COOH $), so that the concentration of hydroxide ions ($OH ^ - $) in the solution gradually increases; ammonium ions are also hydrolyzed, combined with hydroxide ions of water, produce ammonia monohydrate ($NH_3\ cdot H_2O $), resulting in an increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. The ionization constant of

acetic acid is similar to that of ammonia monohydrate. Therefore, the degree of hydrolysis of acetate ions and ammonium ions is similar. In solution, the concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is slightly equal. From this point of view, ammonium acetate solution is almost neutral, and the extreme state of non-acid and non-base is neutral. To study its properties in detail, it is necessary to measure its pH value and observe its ionic reaction in a scientific way to determine the true meaning of ammonium acetate's acidity and alkalinity.
