The conjugate base of H2CO3 (carbonic acid) is the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-).
- Conjugate acid and bases are two speicies that differ only by one proton.
- A conjugate base of a speicy can be obtained by removing one proton from the speicy.
- Similarly, the conjugate acid of a speicy can be obtained by adding a proton to that speicy.
- So, on removing a proton from H2CO3 we obtain its conjugate base as HCO3-, the bicarbonate ion.
