Solution
1
Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs: To find the conjugate acid of a base, a hydrogen ion (H⁺) is added. To find the conjugate base of an acid, a hydrogen ion is removed
2
Completing the Table: - The conjugate acid of I\mathrm{I}^{-} is HI\mathrm{HI}. - The conjugate acid of SO32\mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-} is HSO3\mathrm{HSO}_{3}^{-}. - The conjugate acid of PO43\mathrm{PO}_{4}^{3-} is HPO42\mathrm{HPO}_{4}^{2-}. - The conjugate acid of C2H3O2\mathrm{C}_{2}\mathrm{H}_{3}\mathrm{O}_{2}^{-} is HC2H3O2\mathrm{HC}_{2}\mathrm{H}_{3}\mathrm{O}_{2}. - The conjugate base of HClO4\mathrm{HClO}_{4} is ClO4\mathrm{ClO}_{4}^{-}. - The conjugate base of H2S\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{S} is HS\mathrm{HS}^{-}. - The conjugate base of HCO3\mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-} is CO32\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}

Base & Conjugate Acid & Acid & Conjugate Base \\ I\mathrm{I}^{-} & HI\mathrm{HI} & HClO4\mathrm{HClO}_{4} & ClO4\mathrm{ClO}_{4}^{-} \\ SO32\mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-} & HSO3\mathrm{HSO}_{3}^{-} & H2S\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{S} & HS\mathrm{HS}^{-} \\ PO43\mathrm{PO}_{4}^{3-} & HPO42\mathrm{HPO}_{4}^{2-} & HCO3\mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-} & CO32\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-} \\ C2H3O2\mathrm{C}_{2}\mathrm{H}_{3}\mathrm{O}_{2}^{-} & HC2H3O2\mathrm{HC}_{2}\mathrm{H}_{3}\mathrm{O}_{2} & & \\
Key Concept
Conjugate acid-base pairs differ by one hydrogen ion (proton).
Explanation
The conjugate acid is formed by adding H⁺ to the base, and the conjugate base is formed by removing H⁺ from the acid.
3
Reaction Products: The reaction between NH3\mathrm{NH}_{3} and H2O\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O} produces NH4+\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+} and OH\mathrm{OH}^{-}
4
Acid-Base Identification: - NH3\mathrm{NH}_{3} acts as a base because it accepts a proton to become NH4+\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}. - H2O\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O} acts as an acid because it donates a proton to become OH\mathrm{OH}^{-}. - NH4+\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+} acts as an acid because it can donate a proton to revert to NH3\mathrm{NH}_{3}. - OH\mathrm{OH}^{-} acts as a base because it can accept a proton to revert to H2O\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}
2 Answer
a) The products are NH4+\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+} and OH\mathrm{OH}^{-}. b) Acid/Base Identification: - NH3\mathrm{NH}_{3}: Base - H2O\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}: Acid - NH4+\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}: Acid - OH\mathrm{OH}^{-}: Base
Key Concept
Acids donate protons (H⁺), and bases accept protons.
Explanation
In the reaction, NH3\mathrm{NH}_{3} accepts a proton becoming NH4+\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}, thus acting as a base, while H2O\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O} donates a proton becoming OH\mathrm{OH}^{-}, thus acting as an acid. The products can also act as acid or base in reverse reactions.
