Conjugate acid base pairs

Some things to remember:

Conjugate acid base pairs differ by H+. When an acid donates a proton it becomes its conjugate base. When a base accepts a proton it becomes it conjugate acid.  Some Substances can behave as an acid or base and they are called are amphoteric. Even an acid can be made to behave as a base if it is put with a stronger acid.
