Accepting the definition that an acid is a proton donor, the acid in the following reaction
`NH_(3)+H_(2)O rarr NH_(4)^(+)+OH^(-)` is

A

`NH_(3)`

B

`H^(+)`

C

`NH_(4)^(+)`

D

`H_(2)O`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
In the reaction
`NH_(3) +H_(2) O rarr NH_(4)^(+) +OH^(+)`
water , `H_(2)O` acts as an acid as it gaives a `H^(+)` to `NH_(3)`.
