Question
Identify the conjugate acid-base pairs in the reaction,
\[\ce{CH3COOH(aq) + NH3(aq) <=> NH^+_4(aq) + CH3COO^-(aq)}\]
Answer in Brief
Solution
\[\ce{\underset{Acid 1}{CH3COOH(aq)} + \underset{Base 2}{NH3(aq)} <=> \underset{Acid 2}{NH^+_4(aq)} \underset{Base 1}{CH3COO}^-(aq)}\]
Conjugate acid base pairs: \[\ce{(1) CH3COOH and CH3COO- (2) NH^+_4 and NH3}\]
