I would assume,

FeHO6 -

is the conjugate base here.

How does a conjugate base differ from the acid HB?

A conjugate base is formed when an acid loses a proton (H+), whereas HB represents the acid in its protonated form. The conjugate base has one less proton than the acid HB.


Do conjugate adid base pairs have similar chemical properties?

Conjugate acid-base pairs have similar chemical properties because they differ by a proton. The conjugate acid is formed by gaining a proton, while the conjugate base is formed by losing a proton. This shared relationship ensures that they have similar reactivity and behavior in chemical reactions.


What is the conjugate base of hydrocyanic acid?

The conjugate base of hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is cyanide ion (CN-). When HCN donates a proton, it forms CN-.


What combinations of compounds will make a buffer when mixed?

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


Why doesn't the acid of the buffer react with the added conjugate base although it's a weak acid and according to Le Chatelier when adding the conjugate base it should shift the equilibrum and reform?

In a buffer solution, the weak acid and its conjugate base are present in significant concentrations, which allows the system to resist changes in pH. When a conjugate base is added, the equilibrium between the weak acid and its ions remains largely intact because the added base reacts with the available weak acid to form more of the conjugate base, minimizing the disturbance. This dynamic equilibrium ensures that the system can absorb the added base without significantly shifting the overall equilibrium, thus maintaining the buffer's effectiveness.
