What is the conjugate base of NH4+? Chemistry Acids and Bases Conjugate Acids and Conjugate Bases 1 Answer Thomas U. Nov 5, 2015 #NH_3# Explanation: #NH_4^+ + H_2O -> NH_3 + H_3O^+# #NH_4^+# is the acid because it donates an #H^+# ion to the water. It then becomes ammonia (#NH_3#), which would be the conjugate base of #NH_4^+#. Answer link Related questions How does a conjugate base differ from the acid hbr?
