Conjugate acid - base pair differ by

A

electron

B

proton

C

neutron

D

hydroxyl group

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
According to Bronsted-Lowry concept ,after losing a proton , acids convert into conjugate base and after gaining a proton , bases convert into their conjugate acid , ie,
Acid ` - H^(+) to` conjugate base
Base + `H^(+) to ` conjugate acid
Thus , conjugate acid-base pair is differ by proton .
