Question

Ammonia gas dissolves in water to give nh4oh.Nh4oh. In this reaction water acts as an acid a base a salt a conjugate base

Answer 1

water acts as a base as ammonia is a acidic gas

Answer 2

In this reaction water acts as an acid.

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

The chemical equation for : Ammonia gas dissolves in water to give $NH_4OH$

$NH_3+H_2O\rightarrow NH_4^++OH^-$

Here, $H_2O$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms $OH^-$ which is a conjugate base.

And, $NH_3$ is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms $NH_4^+$ which is a conjugate acid.
