Question

Explain the term and example of conjuate of acid and conjugate base

Answer 1

A conjugate acid, within the Bronsted-Lowry acid - base theory, is a chemical compound formed by the reception of a proton (H+)by a base - in other words, it is a base with a hydrogen ion added to it. On the other hand, a conjugate base is what is left over after an acid has donated a proton during a chemical reaction

Answer 2

A conjugate acid contains one more H atom and one more + charge than the base that formed it.

A conjugate base contains one less H atom and one more - charge than the acid that formed it.
