In a conjugate acid-base pair, the acid typically has one more proton than the base b. one fewer proton than the base. c. two fewer protons than the base. d. the same number of protons as the base. 17 a. to17 o 0001

Statement (a) is true

Explanation:

Conjugate base of an acid is formed from deprotonation of corresponding acid.For an example, consider an acid e.g. (acetic acid)Acid-base equilibrium for acetic acid in aqueous solution is represented as: Here (acetate ion) is the conjugate base of acetic acid.So, clearly, acetic acid has one more proton as compared to acetate ion

Hence statement (a) is true

Ithink it’s 3 as the answer.
