Conjugate Acid

Chemistry Level 1

Identify the conjugate acid of N H X 3 \ce{NH_3} in the following chemical reaction:

H X 2 O + N H X 3 → N H X 4 X + + O H X − . \ce{H_2O + NH_3 \rightarrow NH_{4}^{+} + OH^-}.

O H X − \ce{OH^-} N H X 3 \ce{NH_3} H X 2 O \ce{H_2O} N H X 4 X + \ce{NH_{4}^{+}} None of these

The conjugate acid has the same chemical structure as the species in question, with one additional proton . Ammonia and ammonium are a parent base and conjugate acid. Water and hydroxide are the other conjugate acid-base pair for this reaction.
