Detailed Solution

Silver chloride and ammonium sulphate undergo cationic hydrolysis, react with water and produce more ions in solution. So, resultant solution pH is < 7.
Sodium phosphate and Sodium acetate undergo anionic hydrolysis, react with water and produce more ions in solution. So, resultant solution pH is > 7. Sodium nitrate is a salt of strong and strong base do not undergo any hydrolysis so resultant solution is neutral and PH = 7.
