write the correct balanced equation for a reaction that involves a Bronsted-Lowry acid, a Bronsted-Lowry base, a conjugate acid, and a conjugate base. identify each of these in your equation.
According to the bronsted lowry concept , acid donates hydrogen ion and base accepts hydrogen ion .
The balanced Reaction showing all these species is :
NH3 (aq) + H2O (l) = NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq)
The water molecule acts as bronsted lowry acid as it donates hydrogen ion and ammonia molecule acts as proton donor , hence it is Bronsted lowry base .
Ammonium ion is formed as a resukt of acceptance of proton , hence is called as conjugate acid and hydroxyl ions is formed from water molecule by losing a proton , hence it is called as conjugate base .
