This work needs effective research on the physicochemical studies on preparation and characterization of salts of weak acids and weak bases. In this research several salts of this kind such as ammonium acetate, ammonium formate, ammonium carbonate, etc. were prepared and analysed. The PH of such salt solutions were also examined. Their several laboratorial and industrial uses are also discussed in this field due to their potential to modify physicochemical properties such as solubility, stability and dissolution rate. However, their utility is often limited by disproportionation, where the salt reverts to its less soluble free acid or free base forms below or above a critical PH. The study focuses on the systematic preparation such as neutralization, solvent evaporation ana mechanochemical grinding and characterization was performed using multi-technique approach.
