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.
•The deprotonated form of a weak acid is a conjugate base:
H2Se çè HSe- + H+ pKa1 = 3.9
•Concentrations of acids and bases can be used to determine the pH•Try this: [HSe-] = 10-5, [H2Se] = 10-7
The base formed when an acid loses an H+
Remember that a conjugated acid has one proton H+ more than the (conjugated) base of it.So H2S is conjugated as acidto the base HS- .
In H2O the conjugate base is H2PO4-, being conjugated to the acid H3PO4. As well: H3PO4 is conjugated acid to the base H2PO4-.
Example [OH-]acid (!) conjugated with [O2-]baseor else, in water: [H2O]acid (!) conjugated with [OH-]base
Conjugated bases always have one proton less than its (conjugated) acids:So the conjugated base of carbonic acid ( H2CO3 ) is: hydrogen carbonate, formula HCO3-
The conjugated acid of HCO3- is: H2CO3, carbonic acid.Conjugated pairs of acid and base always differ ONE (1) proton (H+): The acid WITH and the base WITHOUT it.So, on the other hand the conjugated base of HCO3- is: CO32-, carbonate.

The one is a weak acid, the other is its conjugated base (sodium salt of - ). There is NO reaction because they are conjugated.
Actually it is the base form of the verb that is conjugated. They are conjugated to make different forms according to voice, mood, tense, number, and person.It just happens in English that base forms are used for some present sentences.
Conjugated pair of acid / base
Conjugated bases always have one proton less than its (conjugated) acids:So the conjugated base of carbonic acid ( H2CO3 ) is: hydrogen carbonate, formula HCO3-
The conjugated acid of HCO3- is: H2CO3, carbonic acid.Conjugated pairs of acid and base always differ ONE (1) proton (H+): The acid WITH and the base WITHOUT it.So, on the other hand the conjugated base of HCO3- is: CO32-, carbonate.
.. in a proton and a conjugated base ion: this is called the protolysis, mostly in water.
No, a conjugate acid is simply a product of an acid-base reaction. Every base has a conjugate acid.
Ca-acetate is a weak base, conjugated with a weak acid: H-acetate (i.e. acetic acid)
