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 \(B^-+H^+=BH\), with \(B^-=NH_3\) 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.

          \(NH_{3} + HCl \rightarrow NH^{+}_{4} + Cl^{-}\)

Thus, we can conclude that ammonia, \(NH_{3}\), will accept a proton and become \(NH^{+}_{4}\).
