Identify the acid, base, conjugate acid and conjugate base in the following reactions: a. NH_3(aq) + CH_3COOH(aq) NH_4^+ (aq) + CH_3COO^-(aq)
b. HClO_4(aq) + NH_4(aq) ClO_4^- (aq) + NH_4^+ (aq)

a. NH₃ : base

CH₃COOH (acetic acid) : acid

NH₄⁺ : conjugate acid

CH₃COO⁻ : conjugate base

b. HClO₄ (perchloric acid) : acid

NH₃ : base

ClO₄⁻ : conjugate base

NH₄⁺ : conjugate acid

Hope this helps.

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.
