Question

Ammonia, NH3, can be classified as a base because in a chemical reaction with an acid, ammonia will (1 point)produce hydroxide ions in solution. produce hydronium ions in solution. donate a proton and become NH2–. accept a proton and become NH4+.

Answer 1

NH will accept a proton and become NH4+

Bases follow
`B^-+H^+=BH`, with
`B^-=NH_3` in our case.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bases are the electron rich species which readily accept a proton. Therefore, when ammonia is classified as a base in a chemical reaction with an acid, it readily accepts a proton to give ammonium cation.

For example, the reaction of ammonia with hydrochloric acid will be as follows.

`NH_(3) + HCl \rightarrow NH^(+)_(4) + Cl^(-)`

Thus, we can conclude that ammonia,
`NH_(3)`, will accept a proton and become
`NH^(+)_(4)`.
