Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that a conjugate acid is formed when a base gains a proton (H\(\textsuperscript{+}\)).
Identify the given species: dihydrogen phosphate ion is H2PO4\(\textsuperscript{-}\).
To find its conjugate acid, add one proton (H\(\textsuperscript{+}\)) to H2PO4\(\textsuperscript{-}\).
Adding a proton to H2PO4\(\textsuperscript{-}\) increases the number of hydrogen atoms by one and reduces the negative charge by one, resulting in H3PO4.
Therefore, the formula for the conjugate acid of dihydrogen phosphate is H3PO4.
