Allie Carey · Answer 1

The correct option is: conjugate acid

Explanation:

Bases are the chemical substances that are proton acceptors and electron-pair donors. Therefore, when a base accepts a hydrogen proton from an acid it forms a conjugate acid.

Therefore, conjugate acids are formed when a base accepts a hydrogen proton from an acid. Also, if the base is a weak base then its conjugate acid is strong. Whereas, if the base is a strong base then the conjugate acid is weak.
