NH3 + HNO3 → NH4+ + NO3−


NH3/NH4+

NH3/NO3-

HNO3/NH4+

HNO3/NO3-

Answer 1

NH3/NH4+

Step-by-step explanation:

edg

Answer 2

Answer;

NH3/NH4+

Explanation;

From the equation;

NH3(aq)+HNO3(aq)→NH4+(aq)+NO3−(aq)

NH3 is the base; while NH4+ is the conjugate acid

HNO3 is the acid; while NO3- is the conjugate base

• The conjugate base of a Brønsted-Lowry acid is species that is formed after an acid donates a proton while the conjugate acid of a Brønsted-Lowry base is the species formed after a base accepts a proton.
