Answer

By the Brønsted–Lowry definition, a conjugate acid is formed when a base received a lone proton (hydrogen ion). Inversely, a conjugate base remains after an acid has transferred a proton in a chemical reaction. For example, hydrochloric acid and a chloride ion are a conjugate acid-base pair.
