Answer:
HX (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺ (aq) + X⁻ (aq)
Acid Base Conj. acid Conj. base
Explanation:
The equation is:
HX (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺ (aq) + X⁻ (aq)
This is the typical equilibrium for a weak acid. It would complete if we notice the Ka.
HX (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺ (aq) + X⁻ (aq) Ka
1 mol of hypothetic HX acid react to 1 mol of water in order to release a proton and make hydronium and generate the X⁻ anion.
HX will be the acid, in this case a weak one and water will be the base. Water is able to accept a proton to make itslef hydronium
Hydronium is the conjugate acid.
The X⁻ will be the conjugate strong base.
This ion can generate the acid form again, that's why it is strong, because it can make hydrolisis.
X⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄ HX (aq) + OH⁻(aq) Kb
In this case, the anion will be the conjugate base which it takes a proton from water (acid form) to make a conjugate acid, the HX and a conjugate base, OH⁻
