So here we're trying to figure out what the conjugate acid of the base ammonia is.
00:16
So let's start from the basics.
00:20
Ammonia in water gives us a reversible reaction and you end up with ammonium ions and oh minus ions.
00:32
Here there's a transfer of a proton from water to ammonia.
00:36
So ammonia here is the base and water is the acid.
00:42
If you switch this, then you have ammonium ion and hydroxide on the left, reversible reaction of course, and ammonia and water on the right.
00:57
In this reaction, there's a transfer of a proton from ammonia to hydroxide, which means here the ammonium act as the acid.
01:09
And the hydroxide ion acts as the base.
01:14
Now, conventionally or by convention we cause ammonium ion here that came from ammonia originally, a conjugate acid...
