what's the difference?

[Myra Goraya Dis 2E]

I am still having trouble determining whether a molecule is either a conjugate acid or base. What is the difference between the two and how to you determine it?

A conjugate acid is what's formed when a proton gets added to a base and a conjugate base is what is formed when you remove the proton from an acid

[Om Patel]

a conjugate acid is when a base gains a proton and a conjugate base is an acid that lost a proton

[Ashley Presnell 1C]

A conjugate acid is what is formed when a base accepts a proton. A conjugate base is what is formed when an acid donates a proton.

[Morgan Micallef 1A]

Hi! When a base accepts a proton, it forms a conjugate acid, and when an acid donates a proton, it forms a conjugate base

[Charlie Gravereaux]

When an acid donates a proton (H+), the resulting compound is its conjugate base. On the other hand, when a base receives a proton (H+), the resulting compound is its conjugate acid.

Conjugate basically refers to the acid or base produced when gaining/losing a proton. Furthermore, when a base accepts a proton it's a conjugate acid, and when an acid donates a proton, it results in a conjugate base.

[Nick Oscarson 1K]

Conjugate acids refer to compounds that are formed when a base gains a proton, while conjugate bases refer to compounds that are formed when an acid loses a proton.
I feel that it is easier to comprehend when looking at it visually, so here is a video that helped me understand it better! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hPXwugIato

[Matthew Nguyen 3G]

Conjugate means to the acid or base produced from gaining or losing a proton. SO think of it inversely, when the base accepts H+ then it's a conjugate acid and when the acid donates a H+ it's a conjugate base.

[Valerie M Dis 2E]

A conjugate acid is gains a proton in solution. A conjugate base is a substance formed when an acid loses a hydrogen ion.

[Lauren Wasef 3C]

A conjugate base has one less H in the formula and a decrease in charge by one unit compared to the base.
A conjugate acid has one more H in the formula and an increase in charge by one unit compared to the base.

[Kavya Anand 2B]

Conjugate acids are formed when a base gains a proton, while conjugate bases are formed when an acid loses a proton.

[August Blum Dis 3D]

A conjugate base is what's formed when an acid donates a proton, and a conjugate base is what's formed when an base accepts a proton in an acid-base reaction.

[michaelcrisera]

A conjugate base is an acid that loses a proton, and a conjugate acid is a base that has gained a proton.

[Rebekah Jung 1C]

Acids and bases have their conjugate base and conjugate acid respectively. Because acids lose their H+ ions, their repective conjugate base would gain an H+. Similarly to bases, which gain protons, their conjugate acid would lose an H+.
