'Conjugate' means ONE proton more (acid) or less (base) than the described acid or base respectively:

So the conjugate acid of ammonia (NH3) is the ammonium cation NH4+.

What is the conjugate acid of NH3?

NH4+ is NH3's conjugate acid. NH3 accepts H+ to become a Bronsted-Lowry base.

What is The conjugate base of NH plus 4?

The conjugate base of NH4+ is NH3 (ammonia). A conjugate base is formed by the removal of a proton (H+) from the parent acid or cation.


What is the conjugate base for acid NH4 plus?

The conjugate base for acid NH4+ is NH3 (ammonia). When NH4+ loses a proton, it forms NH3, which can act as a weak base in a chemical reaction.


How acids react ammonia?

When an acid reacts with ammonia, the acid donates a proton to ammonia, forming ammonium ion and the conjugate base of the acid. The overall reaction results in the formation of ammonium salts. The strength of the acid will determine the extent to which the reaction proceeds.


Conjugate base of NH4 plus?

The conjugate acid of any substance is given by removing an acidic hydrogen. In the case of ammonium ion, the conjugate base is ammonia.


What is the conjugate acid of cio- HCIO HCI CI- CIO?

What are conjugate acids and conjugate bases?

They are the products of an acid-base reaction (by the Bronsted-Lowry definition). A conjugate base is what is left when an acid loses a proton (H+), for example the conjugate base of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is the bisulfate ion (HSO4-). A conjugate acid is the product of a base gaining a proton, for example the conjugate acid of ammonia (NH3) is the ammonium ion (NH4+).


What is the conjugate acid of NO2-?

HNO2 conjugate acid = one more hydrogen conjugate base = one less hydrogen


Conjugate acid of H2O?

The conjugate acid of H2O is H3O+ (hydronium ion). When an acid donates a proton, it forms its conjugate base, and when a base accepts a proton, it forms its conjugate acid.


The conjugate acid of HCO3- is?

You mean,HCO3 - = bicarbonateH2CO3 = carbonic acid and the conjugate of the above base.


What combinations of compounds will make a buffer when mixed?

In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride
