Equilibria of ammonia protonation in water
Move the AR markers to explore hydrogen bonding and proton transfer by approaching the two molecules from different sides
Equilibria of ammonia protonation in water
Explore how an ammonia molecule establishes hydrogen bonds with a water molecule and takes a proton becoming positively charged and forming a hydroxide anion. Grey atoms are C, red ones are O, white are Hs, blue is N. This dynamic equilibrium gives rise to the basic constant, Kb.
