Question

Explain the relationship between conjugate bases and acids Question What is the chemical formula for the conjugate base of perchloric acid HCIO,? Provide your answer below:

Answer 1

conjugate acid and conjugate base difference is just on proton (H+)

acid $\rightarrow$ Proton donar

Base $\rightarrow$ Proton acceptor

HClO4 is acid it donates the proton, and formed conjugate base.

that is HClO4  $\rightarrow$ ClO4- + H+

so acid = HClO4

and conjugate base = ClO4-
