from class:

AP Chemistry

Definition

An acid/conjugate base pair refers to a set of two compounds, where one compound acts as an acid by donating a proton (Hโบ) and the other compound acts as its conjugate base by accepting that proton. The acid and conjugate base in the pair differ only by the presence or absence of a proton.
