Ammonia, NH3, can be classified as a base because in a chemical reaction with an acid, ammonia will (1 point)produce hydroxide ions in solution. produce hydronium ions in solution. donate a proton and become NH2–. accept a proton and become NH4+.

NH will accept a proton and become NH4+

Bases follow [tex]B^-+H^+=BH[/tex], with [tex]B^-=NH_3[/tex] in our case.

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Bases are the electron rich species which readily accept a proton. Therefore, when ammonia is classified as a base in a chemical reaction with an acid, it readily accepts a proton to give ammonium cation.

For example, the reaction of ammonia with hydrochloric acid will be as follows.

          [tex]NH_{3} + HCl \rightarrow NH^{+}_{4} + Cl^{-}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that ammonia, [tex]NH_{3}[/tex], will accept a proton and become [tex]NH^{+}_{4}[/tex].
