What is the conjugate base of H3O+?

What are the conjugate acid-base pairs in the following equation: HNO2 + H2O= NO2- + H3O+?

  • Answer:

    Each acid has a conjugate base and each base has a conjugate acid. These conjugate pairs only differ by a proton. In this example: HNO2 is the acid, H2O is the base, NO2- is the conj. base, and H3O+ is the conj. acid.
