2) The compound on the products side that gained an H+ ion is the conjugate acid. In simple terms, a conjugate acid is formed when a base gains a proton (H +). The base in question here is the perchlorate ion (ClO4-). ClO4- c. NH4+ (conjugate acid of ammonia, NH3). CLAS * Compiled from Appendix 5 Chem 1A, B, C Lab Manual and Zumdahl 6th Ed. Uh oh, it looks like we ran into an error. It is a conjugate base of a perchloric acid. The correct labeling of the conjugate acid-base pairs for the reaction is therefore b. You Acid: The acid in this reaction is NH4+ because it donates a proton to become NH3.
