ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
To identify the conjugate acid, look for the pair of compounds that are related. The acid-base reaction can be viewed in a before and after sense. The before is the reactant side of the equation and the after is the product side of the equation. The conjugate acid in the after side of an equation gains a hydrogen ion.
