Describe each as an acid, base, neutral salt, acidic salt, or basic salt. For each salt write a parent acid-base formation equation, dissociation equation, and hydrolysis equation (only for acidic and basic salts). For acids and bases write an equation to show how each reacts with water. 1. NH 3 weak base NH 3 + H 2 O ⇄ NH 4 + + OH-2.
