Updated On: Jul 27, 2022
- neither an acid nor base
- both an acid and a base
- a conjugate acid
- a conjugate base
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Ammonium ion is a conjugate acid. Water behaves both as an acid as well as a base. It is amphoteric solvent. In reaction like
$H _{2} O + NH _{3} \rightleftharpoons \underset{\text { conjugate acid }}{ NH _{4}^{+}}+ OH ^{-}$
it behave like an acid.
