Conjugate acid of $\mathrm{NH}_2^{-}$and $\mathrm{NH}_3$ are respectively

Conjugate acid of $\mathrm{NH}_2^{-}$and $\mathrm{NH}_3$ are respectively
  1. $\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{OH}$ and $\mathrm{NH}_2 \mathrm{OH}$
  2. $\mathrm{NH}_3$ and $\mathrm{NH}_2^{-}$
  3. $\mathrm{NH}_3$ and $\mathrm{NH}_4{ }^{+}$
  4. $\mathrm{NH}_4{ }^{+}$and $\mathrm{NH}_3$

Solution

Conjugate acid is formed when a BronstedLowry base accepts a proton. Hence, the conjugate acid of $\mathrm{NH}_2^{-}$is $\mathrm{NH}_3$ and of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ is $\mathrm{NH}_4^{+}$.
