The two acids and two bases involved in a Bronsted-Lowry equilibrium situation can be grouped into two conjugate acid-base pairs.
A conjugate acid-base pair is two species that differ from each other only by one proton.
The two conjugate acid-base pairs in equations Eq.2.1. and Eq.2.2. above are:
Fig.2.1. The conjugate base of an acid is the species that remains when an acid looses a proton. It is abbreviated CB. The conjugate acid of a base is the species formed when the base accepts a proton. It is abbreviated CA.
