Answer:Following are theconjugate acid-base pairs;1)NH₃ , NH₄⁺2)CH₃CO₂⁻ , CH₃COOHExplanation:According to Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory anacidis any specie which can donate H⁺. When an acid donates proton it is converted intoconjugate base.Example:CH₃COOH + BASE → CH₃COO⁻ + Base-HIn above reactionAcetic Acid(CH₃COOH) is acid, and after loosing proton it is converted into conjugate base i.e.Acetate(CH₃COO⁻).And according to Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theorybaseis any specie which can accept H⁺. When base accepts proton it is converted intoconjugate acid.Example:NH₃ + A-H → NH₄⁺ + A⁻In above reactionAmmonia(NH₃) is a base, and after accepting proton it is converted into conjugate acid i.e.Ammonium(NH₄⁺)...
