Question

Which is an acid-conjugate base pair?

Answer 1

I’m not sure if you were looking for a definition or examples so I’ll give you both.

Definition: a conjugate acid is a chemical compound formed by the reception of a proton by a base. You could say it is a base with a hydrogen ion added to it. Also, a conjugate vase is what is left over after an acid has donated a proton during any chemical reaction.

Examples:

Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) is an acid because it donates H+ to the water. It becomes the hydrogen sulfate ion (HSO-4) which is the conjugate vase if sulfuric acid.

Ammonia (NH3) is a base because it accepts H+ from water to come it’s conjugate acid, the ammonium ion (NH+4)

Answer 2

Answer:

A conjugate acid formed by accepting proton (H+) by a base—in other words, it is a base with a hydrogen ion added to it. On the other hand, a conjugate base is what is left over after an acid has donated a proton during a chemical reaction. Hence, a conjugate base is a species formed by the removal of a proton from an acid.
