Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand conjugate pairs of acids and bases, we need to recognize that they are pairs of compounds that differ by a single proton (H⁺). In the context of acid-base reactions, when an acid donates a proton, it forms its conjugate base, and when a base accepts a proton, it forms its conjugate acid. Let's analyze the given reaction step by step: **Given Reaction:** \[ \text{NH}_4^+ (aq) + \text{S}^{2-} (aq) \rightleftharpoons \text{HS}^- (aq) + \text{NH}_3 (aq) \] ### Step 1: Identify the Acid and Base ...
