Identify the Bronsted-Lowry base in this reaction.

${NH}_{4}^{+} + H_{2} O ⇌ {NH}_{3} + H_{3} O^{+}$ $"NH"_4^(+) + "H"_2"O" rightleftharpoons "NH"_3 + "H"_3"O"^(+)$

Lewis acid: ${NH}_{4}^{+}$ $"NH"_4^(+)$
Bronsted-Lowry acid: ${NH}_{4}^{+}$ $"NH"_4^(+)$
Lewis base: $H_{2} O$ $"H"_2"O"$
Bronsted-Lowry base: ???
Conjugate base: ${NH}_{3}$ $"NH"_3$
Conjugate acid: $H_{3} O^{+}$ $"H"_3"O"^(+)$

(Hint: the electron donor is also the proton acceptor in this situation.)

Answer:

$H_{2} O$ $color(white)("H"_2"O")$
