Concept Introduction:
The acid is involved in the release of a proton whereas a base is involved in acceptance of an
Conjugate acid: The substance that donates as well as releases a proton in a
Bronsted–Lowry acid transfer a proton and form base as the other compound can accept a proton. This is called conjugate acid-base pair. In pair of conjugate acid and base, the acid form is protonated and the base form lost the proton.
Every base has conjugate acid. They are related by loss and gain of proton.
The expression for base and conjugate acid is as follows:

- (i) Define pH in words. The strong acid HClaq has a pH value of 1, use the following equation for a strong acid: HClaq à H+aq + Cl-aq and convert the following expression to deduce the hydrogen ion concentration: pH = -log10 [H+] (ii) Use the above expression to deduce the pH of HCl (aq) given the concentration of the acid to be 4.5 mol/dm3arrow_forward(i) Define pH in words.
