| − | A '''conjugate acid''' is the [[molecule]] which results from a [[base]] accepting a [[proton]] (H<sup>+</sup>). This molecule acts as an acid, with a strength inverse to the strength of the origonal base. An example conjugate base is an [[ammonium]] ion (NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>), which is the result of ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) reacting with an [[acid]]. | + | A '''conjugate acid''' is the [[molecule]] which results from a [[base]] accepting a [[proton]] (H<sup>+</sup>).
