Question

Which statement correctly relates two substances in this chemical equation? NH3 + H2O ⇌ OH− + NH4+ A. H2O is the conjugate base of OH−. B. H2O is the conjugate acid of NH3. C. NH4+ is the conjugate acid of NH3. D. NH3 is the conjugate acid of NH4+. E. OH− is the conjugate base of NH3.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct statement is C

NH4+ is the conjugate acid of NH3

Explanation:

NH₃ + H₂O ⇌ OH⁻ + NH₄⁺
