Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A conjugate acid-base pair differs by exactly one proton, the acid form having it and the conjugate base form lacking it.
Show
Acetic acid, CH3COOH, and acetate ion, CH3COO−, are a conjugate pair differing by one H+.
Watch for
A conjugate base is not automatically weak or harmless — its strength is a separate, related question taken up at Chem 1841.
