Solution

To fill in the missing chemical formulae in the table, we can follow these steps:

1. ### Break Down the Problem

  • Identify the missing conjugate base for NH4+.
  • Identify the missing conjugate acid for HCO3−.
  • Identify the missing base for H2PO4−.
  • Identify the missing conjugate acid for CO3^2−.
  • Identify the missing base for H3O+.

2. ### Relevant Concepts

  • Acid-base theory:
    • An acid donates a proton (H+), resulting in its conjugate base.
    • A base accepts a proton (H+), resulting in its conjugate acid.

3. ### Analysis and Detail

  1. NH4+ (Acid) → Conjugate Base:

    • NH4+ loses a proton (H+) to become NH3.
  2. HCO3− (Base) → Conjugate Acid:

    • HCO3− gains a proton (H+) to become H2CO3.
  3. H2PO4− (Acid) → Conjugate Base:

    • H2PO4− loses a proton (H+) to become HPO4^2− (already given).
  4. CO3^2− (Base) → Conjugate Acid:

    • CO3^2− gains a proton (H+) to become HCO3−.
  5. H3O+ (Acid) → Conjugate Base:

    • H3O+ loses a proton (H+) to become H2O (already given).

4. ### Verify and Summarize

  • The values logically follow from the definitions of conjugate acids and bases.
  • Now we can summarize the results.

Final Answer

Acid Conjugate Base Base Conjugate Acid
NH4+ NH3 HCO3− H2CO3
H2PO4− HPO4^2− CO3^2− HCO3−
H3O+ H2O - -

Note: The entries for the base and conjugate acid corresponding to H2O and H3O+ have been retained, as H2O can also act as an acid/base in other contexts.
