Answer:

H20 is an acid and OH is its conjugate base.

Explanation:

Chemical reactions involving acids and bases occur. An acid is a substance that dissociates in water i.e. lose an hydrogen ion/proton. According to the Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, when an acid dissociates in water and loses its hydrogen ion, the resulting substance that forms is the CONJUGATE BASE. A conjugate base is the compound formed as a result of the removal of an H+ ion from an acid.

Based on the chemical reaction in the question, NaHCO3 + H20 = H2CO3 + OH- + Na+

The H20 loses its hydrogen ion (H+) to form an anion OH-. This anion formed is the conjugate base while H20 is its acid.
