The acid-base pair that differs only by one proton (H+) is called a conjugate acid base pair. For example consider a chemical reaction ::::
HCl. + H2O. ➡ H3O^+ + Cl^- .
here in the above reaction HCl. lose proton and convert it into Cl^- .
HCl and Cl differ by only one proton (H+) , As HCl loses proton it acts as acid and Cl^- is it's conjugate base. Therefore HCl and Cl^- is considered as conjugate acid -base pair. as well as H2O is base and H3O^+ is it's conjugate acid.

Hey brainly user
Here is your answer
Conjugate acid base pair
An acid base pair which differ from the single proton is called conjugate acid base pair
Ex: HCl +H2O«-------» Cl+ H3O
In the above equation the conjugate acid base pair is
1)HCl,Cl
2)H30,H2O
Conjugate acid :species +H+
conjugate base : species -H+
