NH4+ (Ammonium-ion) is an acid. Any substance that can give away a proton is called an acid according to Bronsted-Lowry theory. Since NH4+ does so too, ...

22 нояб. 2016 г. · Ammonium (NH₄⁺) is actually neither an acid nor a base according to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, the most common definition of acids and bases. Can ammonia act as an acid? Why is ammonium not an acid? Why isn't ammonium a strong acid if it's the conjugate ... Is NH4 considered an acid or a base? Why? Другие результаты с сайта www.quora.com

Looking at it from the other side, the ammonium ion is an acid, and ammonia is its conjugate base. The hydroxide ion is a base and water is its conjugate acid.

15 мая 2016 г. · Both ammonia is a weak base and ammonium ion is a weak acid. Many, even most, acid/base conjugate pairs are like that. Why is ammonium a weak acid if ammonia is a weak base? Why isn't ammonium strong acid, since it's charged and ... Другие результаты с сайта chemistry.stackexchange.com

4 июл. 2024 г. · While ammonium ions can be acidic through hydrolysis, they display baseness under specific conditions. Ammonium ions can behave as weak bases ...

2 дек. 2021 г. · Ammonium is an acid because it is the conjugate acid of NH3, it is able to donate one of its hydrogen ions to the base.

Ammonia is generally basic in nature (according to the Arrhenius theory as well as the Lewis acid-base theory) but can behave as an acid only in the presence ...

In essence, the ammonia solution's ability to gain hydroxide ions is what causes it to become basic. Therefore, the ammonia solution is a weak base.

NH3 (Ammonia) can be both an acid and base. Standard Ammonia (NH3 ) is a base because it is a proton acceptor in water solution while making NH4+ .
