An acid that forms when a base gains a proton?
conjugate acid
What product forms when a base reacts with an acid?
Fundamentally: acid + base --> a salt + water However, other acid base reactions exist: ex. acid + base --> conjugate base (loses a H) + conjugate acid (gains a H)
What theory describes an acid as a proton and a base as a proton acceptor?
Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory
How can you justify that bronsted-lowery concept of acid and base?
It is based on the proton. A proton acceptor is a base whereas a proton donour is known as an acid.
Is a substance that is a proton donor a acid or base?
ACID
An acid that forms when a base gains a proton?
conjugate acid
How can a base act like water?
Because water is amphoteric and acts like a Bronsted-Lowry base when mixed with an acid, it will gain a proton and produce hydronium. This is just as a base gains a proton and forms a conjugate acid.

What are the bronsted - lowry definition of acid and base?
Arrhenius: Acid is a proton (H+) donor. Base is a -OH^- (hydroxyl) donor.B-L: Acid is a proton donor. Base is a proton acceptor.

What are conjugate acids and conjugate bases?
They are the products of an acid-base reaction (by the Bronsted-Lowry definition). A conjugate base is what is left when an acid loses a proton (H+), for example the conjugate base of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is the bisulfate ion (HSO4-). A conjugate acid is the product of a base gaining a proton, for example the conjugate acid of ammonia (NH3) is the ammonium ion (NH4+).
Is a vinegar a acid or a base?
Vinegar is dilute acetic acid, which is an acid.
What is transferred between a conjugate acid base pair?
a proton
What happens in a bronsted lowry acid-base reaction?
An acid donates an H+, and a base accepts an H+. - Apex
What determines the extent to which a proton-transfer reaction occurs?
The weaker acid and base determine the extent to which a proton-transfer reaction occurs. Acid base reactions are called proton transfers.
