# A student prepares two separate aqueous solutions at 25 degrees Celsius: 0.10 M ammonium chloride, \(\text{NH}_4\text{Cl(aq)}\), and 0.10 M sodium fluoride, \(\text{NaF(aq)}\). Which choice correctly classifies the pH of each solution?

A student prepares two separate aqueous solutions at 25 degrees Celsius: 0.10 M ammonium chloride, \(\text{NH}_4\text{Cl(aq)}\), and 0.10 M sodium fluoride, \(\text{NaF(aq)}\). Which choice correctly classifies the pH of each solution?

- **A.** \(\text{NH}_4\text{Cl(aq)}\) is acidic (\(\text{pH} < 7\)) and \(\text{NaF(aq)}\) is basic (\(\text{pH} > 7\))
- **B.** \(\text{NH}_4\text{Cl(aq)}\) is basic (\(\text{pH} > 7\)) and \(\text{NaF(aq)}\) is acidic (\(\text{pH} < 7\))
- **C.** \(\text{NH}_4\text{Cl(aq)}\) is acidic (\(\text{pH} < 7\)) and \(\text{NaF(aq)}\) is neutral (\(\text{pH} = 7\))
- **D.** \(\text{NH}_4\text{Cl(aq)}\) is neutral (\(\text{pH} = 7\)) and \(\text{NaF(aq)}\) is basic (\(\text{pH} > 7\))
