Conjugate Base




:HX + H2O ↔ X- + H3O+

This principle is discussed in detail in the article on Acid-base Reaction Theories .

Tabulated below are several examples of conjugate acid-base pairs. Acid strength decreases and base strength increases down the table. (The dissociation reaction reaches equilibrium further to the right, with more X- produced.)
