Is a conjugate acid formed when a base gains a proton?

Yes, when a base gains a proton, it forms its conjugate acid by accepting the proton. The conjugate acid of a base is the species that results after the base gains a proton.


What is a conjugated acid based pair?

A conjugate acid is formed when a base gains a positive hydrogen Ion (H+), and thus, having the ability to lose this ion becomes a weak acid. The opposite is true when forming a conjugate base, an acid loses a H+ ion and therefore is a base, as it is able to steal ions.


What is a base that forms when an acid loses a proton?

Such a chemical species is called a conjugate base.


What is the conjugate acid of ammonia?

'Conjugate' means ONE proton more (acid) or less (base) than the described acid or base respectively:So the conjugate acid of ammonia (NH3) is the ammonium cation NH4+.


Conjugate acid of H2O?

The conjugate acid of H2O is H3O+ (hydronium ion). When an acid donates a proton, it forms its conjugate base, and when a base accepts a proton, it forms its conjugate acid.


A conjugate acid-base pair differs by several h ions?

A conjugate acid-base pair differ by one proton (H+) ion. The acid loses a proton to form its conjugate base, while the base gains a proton to form its conjugate acid. This proton transfer results in the formation of a conjugate pair.


Does a weak acid gain a proton?

No, a weak acid donates a proton (H+ ion) when it dissociates in water, rather than gaining one. This donation of a proton is what causes the weak acid to ionize and form its conjugate base.


The conjugate acid of HCO3- is?

You mean,HCO3 - = bicarbonateH2CO3 = carbonic acid and the conjugate of the above base.


What is an acid pair know as?

Acid base pairs differing ONE proton (H+) are called conjugate acid-base pair.Examples:H3O+ and H2OH2O and OH-NH4+ and NH3HBr and Br-HNO2 and NO2-H2SO4 and HSO4-HSO4- and SO42-HOCl and OCl-(In order of 'acid and base' respectively)

What forms when a acid and a base react?

When an acid and a base react, they form water and a salt through a neutralization reaction. The acid donates a proton (H+) to the base, which accepts the proton, forming water. The remaining ions from the acid and base combine to create the salt.


Is ammonia a weak acid?

Ammonia typically acts as a weak base. In most acid-base reactions involving ammonia, the nitrogen atom gains a proton and gains a positive charge. The result is the ammonium cation.
