Question 31

$$\text{NH}_4^+$$ ion in aqueous solution will behave as.

Solution

$$\text{NH}_4^+$$ is the conjugate acid of the weak base $$\text{NH}_3$$. In water it donates a proton, $$\text{NH}_4^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightleftharpoons \text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_3\text{O}^+$$, so it behaves as an acid.
