Each cationic acid HA+, when it donates ONE proton H+, will form its conjugated base A of the acid HA+. (Example: NH4+ ammonium, acid NH3 ammonia, base)Each neutral acid HA, when it donates ONE proton H+, will form its conjugated base A- of the acid HA. (Example: CH3COOH acetic acid CH3COO- acetate, base)Each anionic acid HA-, when it donates ONE proton H+, will form its conjugated base A2- of the acid HA-. (Example: HS- (mono)hydrogen sulfide, acid S2- sulfide, base)Each anionic base HA-, when it adopts ONE proton H+, will form its conjugated acid H2A of the base HA-. (Example: HS- mono-hydrogen sulfide, base H2S di-hydrogen sulfide, acid)Each anionic base A-, when it adopts ONE proton H+, will form its conjugate acid HA of base A-. (Example: CH3COO- acetate, base CH3COOH acetic acid)Each neutral base A, when it adopts ONE proton H+, will form its conjugate acid HA of base A-. (Example: NH3 ammonia, base NH4+ ammonium, acid)
