We assume one equiv EACH of the given reagents.........
Explanation:
And thus for
And we should write the stoichiometric equations:
The solution is ACIDIC because of the acidity of both bisulfate and ammonium ions:
and potassium formate gives a slightly basic solution.......
The solution is ALKALINE because of the basicity of the formate ions.
The solution should be more or less neutral.
