Work Step by Step

NH4Cl dissociates into a neutral ion (Cl) and an acidic ion (NH4), making it acidic. KCN dissociates into a neutral ion (K) and a basic ion (CN), making it basic. K2CO3 dissociates into a neutral ion (K) and a basic ion (CO3), making it basic. KBr dissociates into two neutral ions, K (a Group 1A metal with a low charge), and Br (a conjugate base of a strong acid), meaning it will form a neutral solution.
