The conjugate base of CH3COOH is CH3COO-. This forms when CH3COOH loses a proton (H+).
The compound is ethanoic acid, and it is not a base.
The conjugate acid is the acetic acid, CH3COOH.
The acid formed when a base gains an H+
A weak acid/base will have a stronger conjugate base/acid. The conjugate acids/bases of strong bases/acids are very weak because they have no attraction to protons or hydroxides, which is why the reaction shifts all the way to the right and the Ka/b is large.
Acetic acid, CH3COOH, and Sodium Acetate, (CH3COOH-)(Na+).
The compound is ethanoic acid, and it is not a base.
The conjugate acid is the acetic acid, CH3COOH.
In general, a buffer system can be represented by writing a salt followed by slash and an acid or conjugate base followed by slash and an acid like salt/acid or conjugate base/acid. Thus, the sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer system can be written asCH3COONa/ CH3COOH or CH3COO-/CH3COOHSimilarly, ammonia-ammonium chloride buffer system can be represented asNH3 / NH4+Note that NH4+ is an acid and NH3 is a conjugate base according to Lewry-Bronsted concept.

Its conjugate acids may be HCO+ or COH+, but its existence is questionable. To my knowledge carbon monoxide is a neutral gas; it might have some 'Lewis acid' properties but this is not in water.Carbon dioxide (CO2) however is an acid forming oxide in water, its conjugate base isHCO3- burt even this is not base forming, hence no conjugate acid as well.HClO3
The conjugate base and conjugate acid for HS04 is: Conjugate acid is H2SO4 Conjugate base is SO42
The conjugate base of NH3 is NH2-, formed by removing a proton (H+) from NH3.
The conjugate base for CH3CH2COOH is CH3CH2COO-.
The conjugate base of HSO3- is SO32-.
The conjugate base of H2O is OH-. When H2O loses a proton, it forms the hydroxide ion OH-, which is the conjugate base of water.
