The term "conjugate base" is correct and can be used in written English.
It is commonly used in chemistry to refer to the negatively charged species that is formed when an acid loses a proton. Example: "When hydrochloric acid (HCl) is dissolved in water, it forms its conjugate base, chloride ion (Cl-)." This sentence shows the relationship between an acid and its conjugate base, and how the base is formed from the acid through the loss of a proton.
Here is conjugate base -- -- divided by the concentration of the acid.
The Order of Vanishing of the Determinant of a Conjugate Base.
And that is going to be defined as equal to the hydrogen or hydronium ion concentration times the concentration of the conjugate base, A minus -- When a Bronsted acid ionizes it produces what we call the conjugate base of the acid.
The stoichiometry of the reaction occurring at the first cathodic wave involves 0.8 Faraday and yields 0.2 moles of p-hydroxylaminobenzoic acid and 0.8 moles of the conjugate base of NBA, per mole of substrate consumed.
The process involves a self-protonation mechanism whereby the two-electron reduction product, a cyclic derivative, is formed together with the conjugate base of the substrate, as a consequence of proton transfer from the substrate itself to the basic intermediates.
Upon electrochemical reduction of potassium perchlorate in dimethyl sulfoxide to potassium the strong dimsyl base (i.e. the conjugate base of dimethyl sulfoxide) is formed in the reaction of the alkali metal with the solvent.
And then there may also be A minus, which in the case of acetic acid would be acetate, -- -- where we have two electronegative oxygens, among which the negative charge can be shared and the acetate ion, which is the conjugate base of acidic acid.
If an acid A is added to the solvent SH it will be at least partly converted into the conjugate base B according to the reaction A + SH ⇄ B + SH2+, which would be characterized formally by an equilibrium constant [B][SH2+]/[A] [SH].
The conjugate base anions (A−) of these chiral dopants (as with the previously studied -camphor-10-sulfonic acid, HCSO3−contand SO3− and carbonyl (C=O) groups that may maintain the polyaniline chains in a preferred one-sense helical screw via simultaneous electrostatic and H-bonding.
The existence of an acidic proton on the acetamide group in the GC-361 molecule triggered the appearance of father son type reactions between the nitro radical anion from GC-361 (son compound) and GC-361 (father compound) generating the neutral radical and the conjugate base of GC-361.
The chemiluminescent reaction of the indole compounds seemed to have close connection with electrogeneration of O2 −, which functioned as a proton acceptor to the indole compounds, and the chemical stability of a radical species (i.e. a one-electron oxidized form of conjugate base of indole compounds) due to the substituent which is present at the 3-position.
