What are the conjugate acid-base pairs in the following chemical reaction? NH₃(aq)+ H₂O(l)⇌ NH₄⁺(aq)+ OH^-(aq) A)NH₃,H₂O and NH₄⁺,OH^- B)NH₃,NH₄⁺ and H₂O,OH^- C)NH₃,OH^- and H₂O,NH₄⁺ D)NH₃ and NH₄⁺

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this chemical reaction, the acid-base pairs are NH₃/ NH₄⁺ and H₂O/ OH^-. Option B correctly identifies these pairs. Option A is incorrect because it includes NH₃ as the conjugate acid, but it is actually the initial acid in the reaction. Option C is also incorrect because it reverses the order of the acid-base pairs. Option D is incorrect because it only identifies one of the two acid-base pairs.
