What is the formula to find the conjugate of the base?

[Elizabeth Kakachyan 1C]

Hi! There's no formula to find the conjugate base or acid. The conjugate base is an acid after donating a proton, or losing a hydrogen ion. The conjugate acid is a base after accepting a proton, or gaining a hydrogen ion.

Hi,
A general rule that is stated in the solution after answering the question is
acid = H+ + conjugate base

[Jiane_Beach_1D]

A conjugate acid or base of a molecule is that molecule with an H+ added or taken away. An acid will have a conjugate base and a base will have a conjugate acid. An acid donates an H+ so its conjugate base form is the acid without an H. It is a conjugate base because it is able to accept an H and become the acid again.

[Matthew Nguyen 3G]

A conjugate base is resulted from the the acid donating a proton or losing an hydrogen ion (H+).

There is no formula to find the conjugate of the base. The conjugate base is the substance formed when an acid loses a hydrogen ion

[Kavya Anand 2B]

Hi, while there is no specific formula to find the conjugate base, you typically remove a proton (H) from the acid, which decreases the charge by one.

[Aryan Gajjar 3D]

The conjugate base's formula is the acid's formula without one hydrogen. The conjugate base of an acid is the base created by contributing a proton to the acid.

Hi!

I was struggling with this but what I understand from the Achieve feedback is that we can find the conjugate by adding/removing a H+ depending on the scenario.

When an acid is ionized it forms a H+ and a conjugate base. Another way to think about it is that the conjugate base forms when the acid losses a H+. Achieve illustrates this by using the equation acid = (H+) + conjugate base.

When a base receives an H+ it forms its conjugate acid. Again, achieve illustrates this with the equation base + (H+) = conjugate acid.

I hope that helps!

The conjugate base if after the acid has already donated a proton and the conjugate acid is after it has already accepted a proton at least according to Bronstod’s definition.
