In the reaction as follows: HCLO2 + H2O = H3O+ + ClO2-
- HClO2 is the acid because it loses a proton
- H2O is the base because it accepts a proton
- H3O+ is the conjugate acid
- ClO2- is the conjugate base
CONJUGATE ACID AND BASE:
- According to Brønsted–Lowry, an acid is a substance that can donate a proton (H+). A conjugate base is formed when an acid loses a proton. The resulting ion is called conjugate base.
- A base is a substance that accepts a proton or hydrogen ion (H+). A conjugate acid is formed when the base accepts a proton. The resulting ion is called a conjugate acid.
