I need help with this question. Can you help me to show the work like step by step

**Question 8.17:** What is the **acid form** of \( \text{NH}_3 \)? **Answer:** \( \text{NH}_4^+ \) **Explanation:** The **acid form** of a conjugate pair contains *one more* \( \text{H}^+ \) than the **base form**. The **acid form** is obtained by **adding** an \( \text{H}^+ \) to the **base form**. - Note that when an \( \text{H}^+ \) is **added** to a species, its charge **increases** by one charge unit. \( \text{NH}_3 \) has a **zero charge**, however when an \( \text{H}^+ \) is added, it is converted to \( \text{NH}_4^+ \); the charge increases by one charge unit.

Expert Solution
Step 1

We have to write the acid form of the NH3.

Introduction: We know that an acid is a proton (H+) donor and a base is a proton (H+) acceptor.
