How would I predict the pH (less than, equal too, or greater than 7) of (NH4)2S? Normally I would pick the ion that comes from the weak acid or weak base but these both come from weak substances. The answer key to my textbook says that it's basic because S2- produces hydroxide. Why did they pick the S2- ion?
