conjugate acid of h2po4

 conjugate acid of h2po4


The word is ‘conjugate’


and it describes a relationship. A conjugate acid has a H+ that the conjugate base doesn’t have. So the conjugate acid of H2PO4 would be H3PO4+


but H3PO4+ doesn’t exist .


I think you want the conjugate acid of H2PO4-


that’s easy - just add a H+ and we have H3PO4


If you wanted the conjugate base of H2PO4- just knock off a H+


and you get HPO4 2-
