Which of the following is the conjugate acid of water?

HCl
H3O+
NH4+
OH-

Answer:
H3O+

conjugate acid means add a proton
conjugate base means subtract a proton

conjugate acid-base pairs differ by one proton

proton=H+
H3O+
H30+
H3O+

*when a proton (H+) is added to H2O, it becomes H3O.

*H2O, in the reaction, is a base because it was the receiver of a donated proton

*H3O is an acid because it has the ability to donate the proton it received elsewhere.

god bless :]
