My book says the following:
NH4NO3 is weakly acidic as a salt because it is composed of the conjugates of the base NH3 and the strong acid HNO3.
Why does that make it weakly acidic exactly??
Is it because the HNO3 is a strong acid, therefore it won't steal the protons that are released from the NH4 in solution?
