a) NH₃
b) H₂O
c) CH₃COO-
d) OH-

Answer 1

The formula for the conjugate acids of the given bases are NH₄⁺, H₃O⁺, CH₃COOH, and H₂O.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the conjugate acid of each of the given bases is as follows:

a) NH₃: The conjugate acid is NH₄⁺

b) H₂O: The conjugate acid is H₃O⁺ (hydronium ion)

c) CH₃COO⁻: The conjugate acid is CH₃COOH (acetic acid)

d) OH⁻: The conjugate acid is H₂O (water)
