Sure, let's solve for the conjugate acid of [tex]\( NH_3 \)[/tex].
To find the conjugate acid of a molecule, one needs to identify what the molecule would become after it accepts a proton (H[tex]\(^+\)[/tex]).
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Identify the base:
[tex]\( NH_3 \)[/tex] is ammonia.
2. Add a proton (H[tex]\(^+\)[/tex]) to the base:
When you add a proton to [tex]\( NH_3 \)[/tex], it gains an extra hydrogen atom.
3. Combine the proton with the base:
[tex]\[
NH_3 + H^+ \to NH_4^+
\][/tex]
By adding a hydrogen ion to ammonia, [tex]\( NH_3 \)[/tex], we get [tex]\( NH_4^+ \)[/tex].
So, the conjugate acid of [tex]\( NH_3 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( NH_4^+ \)[/tex].
