Answer:

The pair will be:

- NH3/NH4⁺

- ClO⁻/HClO

Step-by-step explanation:

A conjugate acid is formed after a base has reacted/accepted a proton.

Since H2O is amphiprotic, we can use it as the acid.

NH3 + H2O ⇄ NH4⁺ + OH⁻

ClO⁻ + H2O ⇄ HClO + OH⁻

after reacting, the base form conjugate acid.
