A '''conjugate base''' is the negatively charged [[ion]] which results from an acid donating a [[proton]] (H<sup>+</sup>). This ion acts as a [[base]], with a strength inverse to the strength of the original acid. An example conjugate base is a [[nitrate]] ion (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>), which is formed when [[nitric acid]] (HNO<sub>3</sub>) gives up its proton.
