Bronsted-Lowry Acids and Bases

Concept #1: According to the Bronsted-Lowry definition, acids are considered H⁺ donor and bases are considered H⁺ acceptor. 

Example #1: Write the formula of the conjugate base for each of the following compounds:

HSO₃^–

Example #2: Write the formula of the conjugate acid for each of the following compounds:

HPO₃^2-

Example #3: Identify the acid, base, conjugate acid and conjugate base in the following reactions:

HF (aq)      +      H₂O (aq)   ⇌    F ^– (aq)      +      H₃O⁺ (aq)
