What is the conjugate acid for NH3?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the conjugate acid of ammonia (NH3). A conjugate acid is formed when a base gains a proton (H+). In this case, when NH3 accepts a proton, it becomes NH4+. Therefore, we need to identify and define the species resulting from this protonation.

Answer

NH4+

The final answer is NH4+

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is NH4+

More Information

Ammonia (NH3) acts as a base and accepts a proton (H+), forming its conjugate acid, ammonium (NH4+).

Tips

A common mistake is confusing the conjugate acid with the conjugate base. Remember that the conjugate acid is formed by adding a proton (H+) to the original base.
