how to find the conjugate base

[Hannah Kaye 1L]

Hi, how do we find the conjugate base?

[Lucy Farnham 1G]

the conjugate base is simply the base remaining when an acid donates a proton. For example, the conjugate base of HCN is just CN-.

The conjugate base is basically one less H+ atom in the compound itself.

Conjugate bases is the base that remains when an bronsted acid donates a proton (H+ is the proton donor).

When finding the conjugate base of a reaction, you are essentially taking away a H+ proton. For instance, in HCl + H2O --> H3O+ + Cl-, HCl donates a H+ to H2O making H3O+ and Cl- (the conjugate base).

the conjugate base is basically the atom that would accept the proton if the reaction were to be reversed.

[Kimia Rategh 2A]

Hi! So a conjugate base is simply the resulting compound after an acid gives up a proton. Similarly, a conjugate acid is the resulting compound after a base accepts a proton. For example: NH3 + H2O --> NH4+ + OH-. NH4+ would be the conjugate acid since NH3, which is a base has accepted a proton from water resulting in hydroxide and NH4+ (which is just NH3 which a proton now). The opposite reaction can be used as an example of an acid and its conjugate base. Hope this helps!

Take away 1 H and subtract the charge by 1. This will result in a conjugate base of a Bronsted acid.

You can subtract 1 H+ from the atom.

[Vashe Sundar 3H]

To find the conjugate base, you will need to remove the H+ from the compound. For example, HF would just be F-, since a positive H was lost.

[Genelle Marcelino-Searles 2G]

The conjugate base is the remainder of the acid when it donates the proton to the base.

[Iman Gauhar 3E]

The conjugate base of a Bronsted acid is the species formed after an acid donates a proton.

HCl(aq)+H2O(l)→H3O+(aq)+Cl−(aq)

The acid in this chemical equation is the reactant, HCl, and the conjugate base is the product, CL-, because the HCl has donated a proton.

[Neha Jonnalagadda 2D]

The conjugate base is basically the compound minus one H, meaning that it donates a proton.

[Trisha Nagin]

Take out the H and subtract a proton from the charge.

[Carmen Kim 3I]

Hi,
The formula to solve for the conjugate base is the one less hydrogen atom. The conjugate base is the remainder of the acid when it accepts the proton.

[Darlene Luu 1H]

You can find the conjugate base by removing an H+.

[Caitlyn Lo 2F]

The conjugate base is the acid after it donates the proton to the base

[Daniel Tabibian 3K]

The conjugate base would be the acid one it has donated one of its protons. The molecular formula would be the same minus 1 H+ ion and the charge would be one less as well due to this.

[NaomiAbramowicz1H]

You take away an H and make it more negative. For example, HCl becomes Cl-.
