Answer:

Conjugate acid is H3O

Step-by-step explanation:

HCl + H2O = H3O + Cl

HCl = H+ and Cl- = Acid

H2O = OH- and H+ = Neutral as equal OH- and H+

H3O = H3O+ = Acid also known as Hydronium

Cl = Just free floating Chlorine = Cl-

Conjugate acid is H3O

Acid = A solution with more H+ ions than OH- ions.
