Question

Which species is the conjugate base of an ammonium ion, NH4+?

Answer 1

Answer:

The conjugated base of ammonium ion $NH_{4}^{+}$ is $NH_{5}^{2+}$

Explanation:

A conjugate base is obtained by addition of proton $H^{+}$ . In order to get the conjugate base of $NH_{4}^{+}$, we need to add a proton to ammonium ion. We will get $NH_{5}^{2+}$ after addition of proton to ammonium ion.

Hence, the conjugate base of $NH_{4}^{+}$ is $NH_{5}^{2+}$
