Hey guys I was doing my online hw and I have been stumped by this hydrolysis problem, which normally don't give me trouble. It might just be the online program, but just in case I want a second opinion.

So we have CH3NH3Cl reacting with H2O I need to write a reaction that explains why the CH3NH3Cl solution is acidic.

CH3NH3Cl (aq) + H2O (l)  if I am writing the reaction correctly it should come out to be


CH3NH3Cl (aq) + H2O (l) <-------->CH3NH2 (aq) + H30^+ (aq)

I know that the Cl^- ion gets left out of the reaction due to the fact that its such a weak B.L conjugate base.

If I am missing something I would love to be enlightened!

If I asked you to explain why NH4Cl solution is acidic, how would you answer?
