Talc is mildly basic, with a pH of ~9.
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base. The overall reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride

Talk is an insoluble solid.
Talc is inert to most acids. It does not react with common acids like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid.
Baby powder is typically neutral, meaning it is neither an acid nor a base. It is mainly composed of talc or cornstarch and is used to absorb moisture and reduce friction on the skin.
Talc is insoluble in water and only slightly soluble in dilute mineral acids.
The mineral with a soapy feel is called talc. Talc has a greasy or soapy texture and is often used in powders and cosmetic products.

Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
Acetamide is a weak base. It can undergo protonation to form the conjugate acid, acetic acid, in acidic solutions.
A Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction involves the transfer of a proton (H+) from the acid to the base. The acid donates a proton, while the base accepts a proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base.
The base which a certain acid turns into.Every acid had a conjugate base:HX (acid) X- (conjugate base)The acid is also called the base's conjugate acid.
An acid base imbalance can result in
acid. you can actually run batteries off it.
