Expert Solution
Step 1

According to Bronsted lowry concept of acid and bases:

An acid is a substance that donated a proton to other chemical species in a chemical reaction

A base is a substance that accepts the proton from other species.

 

Step 2

A conjugate acid contains one more H-atom and one more +ive charge than the base that formed it.

A conjugate acid contains one less H-atom and one more -ive charge than the acid that formed it.
