∙ 13y agoThe conjugate base results after the acidic hydrogen (proton) has been removed from the acid.
The conjugate acid results after the base has picked up a proton from another stronger acid.
Conjugated pairs of acid and base always differ only one proton, and the stronger the acid, the weaker the conjugate base, and vice versa. (the stronger one is in 'bold' characters)
For instance, (acid and base couples, all in water solution)
HCl and Cl-, (chloride is very, very weak; weaker than H2O as base)
CH3COOH and CH3COO- (acatic acid and acetate),
NH4+ and NH3 (ammonium and ammonia),
H2CO3 and HCO3- (hydrous carbon dioxide (carbonic acid) and monohydrogen carbonate)
HCO3- and CO32- (monohydrogen carbonate and carbonate)
H3O+ and H2O (hydronium and water)
H2O and OH- (water and hydroxide)
CH3CH2OH and CH3CH2O-(ethanol and ethoxide anion or ethanoate, a stronger base than hydroxide!)

∙ 7y agoThe conjugate base of an acid is the substance that remains after the acid has donated its proton.Example: Acid is HX and conjugate base is X^-.
Acid is HCl, conjugate base is Cl^-.
Acid is acetic acid (CH3COOH), conjugate base is acetate (CH3COO^-)

What best describes a bronsted lowry acid base reaction?
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
What is the conjugate base and conjugate acid for HSO4-?
The conjugate base and conjugate acid for HS04 is: Conjugate acid is H2SO4 Conjugate base is SO42
What is the conjugate acid for base H2O?
Its conjugate acid is H3O+
Is conjugated acid a strong acid?
No, a conjugate acid is simply a product of an acid-base reaction. Every base has a conjugate acid.
What two components make up a buffered solution?
Buffer solution is a type of solution which contains acid and at the same time a base material. The two components are a weak acid and a conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

What is the conjugate base and conjugate acid for HSO4-?
The conjugate base and conjugate acid for HS04 is: Conjugate acid is H2SO4 Conjugate base is SO42
What is a congugate 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.
What is the conjugate acid for base H2O?
Its conjugate acid is H3O+
What is the conjugate base for acid Iodine?
Assuming you are asking about the base I-, the conjugate acid is HI, hydroiodic acid. Since hydroiodic acid is a strong acid, it can be concluded that iodide (I-) is a weak conjugate base.
Is conjugated acid a strong acid?
No, a conjugate acid is simply a product of an acid-base reaction. Every base has a conjugate acid.

Buffer solution is a type of solution which contains acid and at the same time a base material. The two components are a weak acid and a conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.
Explain how the relationship between the strengths of an acid and its conjugate base and of a base and its conjugated acid?
If acid is strong then its conjugate base must be weak, if conjugate base is strong it again accept the H+ ions so acid can neither be strong, similarly if base is strong its conjugate acid must be weak.
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 an example of a conjugate acid-base pair?
For the nitric acid (HNO3) the conjugate base is the ion (NO3)-.
What is mean by conjugate?
If a base is chemically the same as a certain acid except without a hydrogen ion, it is that acid's conjugate base. If an acid is chemically the same as a certain base except with an extra hydrogen ion, it is that base's conjugate acid.
What is the name for conjugate base H2O?
The conjugate base for H2O is the hydroxide ion, OH-. When the hydroxide ion reacts with another water molecule, a hydrogen ion may be transferred, resulting in a water molecule and a hydroxide ion. Therefore, the conjugate base of water is OH-
