write the conjugate acid for NH2-

Question

What is the conjugate acid for the following compound NH_2 ^-

 

 

 

Answer 1

Hi April,

The conjugate acid has one proton (H⁺) more.

Hence, for NH₂^- the conjugate acid would be NH₃ (the positive charge of H⁺ and the negative charge of NH₂^- cancel each other out).

 

Hope this helped!
