Give the formula for the conjugate base of the strong acid hclo4 (perchloric acid).

Hi!

The conjugate base of the strong acid HClO₄ is ClO₄⁻.

Perchloric Acid is a strong acid, and this kind of acids dissociate completely when they are in the water, generating H⁺ ions which make the solution acidic and the conjugate base. The chemical reaction for the dissociation of HClO₄ in water is the following:

HClO₄ → H⁺ + ClO₄⁻

From this chemical reaction, we can conclude that the ion ClO₄⁻ is the conjugate base for HClO₄.

Have a nice day!
