C it would break into Na+ and HC03 -, the HC03- is acidic due to the H ion and then for your additional details use the henderson-haselbeck (spelled wrong) equation which is pH= pKa + log ([A-]/[HA}) where the A- is the conc of the base (whichever of the 2 has less H's) and the HA is the conc of the acid (whichever of the 2 has more H's). You should have a table of pKa values in your chemistry book and ammonium should be in there and then just play with the equation when you put in more A- or base the pH will go up and when you put in more HA the pH will go down.
