A. Ammonia is an acid and vinegar is a base, so a neutralization reaction would occur. The pH would be closer to 7 than either the vinegar or ammonia alone. Nothing would happen.
B. Ammonia is an acid and vinegar is a base, so a stronger acid would form.
C.Vinegar is an acid and ammonia is a base, so a stronger base would form.
D. Vinegar is an acid and ammonia is a base, so a neutralization reaction would occur. The pH would be closer to 7 than either the vinegar or ammonia alone. A salt and water would be produced.
