For each equation, identify the acid, the base, the conjugate base, and the conjugate acid. Complete the table by filling in each empty space.

Equation:
HCIO_(2) + H_(2)O
HCIO_(2) + H_(3)O

Acid -
HCIO_(2)

Base -
H_(2)O

Conjugate Base -
HCIO_(2)^(-)

Conjugate Acid -
H_(3)O^(+)

Equation:
HCl + NH_(3)
NH_(4)^(+) + Cl^(-)

Acid -
HCl

Base -
NH_(3)

Conjugate Base -
Cl^(-)

Conjugate Acid -
NH_(4) ^(+)

In the first equation,
HCIO_(2) is the acid because it donates a proton (
H^(+)) to
H_(2)O.
H_(2)O is the base because it accepts the proton.
HCIO_(2)^(-) is the conjugate base of
HCIO_(2) because it is formed when
HCIO_(2) loses a proton.
H_(3)O^(+) is the conjugate acid of
H_(2)O because it is formed when
H_(2)O gains a proton.

In the second equation,
HCl is the acid because it donates a proton to
NH_(3).
NH_(3) is the base because it accepts the proton.
Cl^(-) is the conjugate base of
HCl because it is formed when
HCl loses a proton.
NH_(4)^(+) is the conjugate acid of
NH_(3) because it is formed when
NH_(3) gains a proton.

The concept of conjugate acids and bases is illustrated in this table.
