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.


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


What would be the conjugate pair for a strong base?

The conjugate pair for a strong base is a weak acid. When a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), dissociates in water, it produces hydroxide ions (OH⁻), which can then react with a weak acid to form its conjugate base. For example, if we take the strong base sodium hydroxide, its conjugate pair would be the weak acid water (H₂O), which can donate a proton to form hydroxide ions. Thus, the conjugate acid-base relationship involves a strong base and its corresponding weak acid.


What happens in a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction?

In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base. The overall reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.


What is the conjugate acid of NH3?

NH4+ is NH3's conjugate acid. NH3 accepts H+ to become a Bronsted-Lowry base.

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.


Is the conjugate of a strong base is a weak acid?

NaHCO3 is a weak base, with a conjugate acid of H2CO3+.


Conjugate acid of H2O?

The conjugate acid of H2O is H3O+ (hydronium ion). When an acid donates a proton, it forms its conjugate base, and when a base accepts a proton, it forms its conjugate acid.


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.


What is the conjugate acid of NH2OH?

The conjugate acid of the base NH2OH (hydroxlyamine) is NH3OH^+


How is the strength of a weak acid related to the strength of conjugate base?

The strength of a weak acid is inversely related to the strength of its conjugate base. If an acid is weak, its conjugate base will be stronger because the weaker the acid, the more easily it will give up its proton to form the conjugate base. Conversely, a stronger acid will have a weaker conjugate base.


How does an base differ from its conjugate acid?

The conjugate base results after the acidic hydrogen has been removed from the acid. For instance, if we look at water (a weak acid), then the conjugate base is the hydroxide anion, a strong base. The stronger the acid, the weaker the conjugate base, and vice versa.


What is the relationship between a weak acid and its conjugate base in a chemical reaction?

In a chemical reaction, a weak acid and its conjugate base are related as a pair. When the weak acid donates a proton, it forms its conjugate base. The conjugate base can then accept a proton to reform the weak acid. They exist in equilibrium, with the weak acid and its conjugate base acting as partners in the reaction.
