(a)  Mg(OH)2

(b)   NH3

(c)   H2SO4

(d)   CH3COOH

(e)   AgCl

Expert Solution
Introduction

When an acid dissociates into its ions, then the ion formed is its conjugate base and when an base dissociates into its ions, then the ion formed is its conjugate acid. If the acid is strong, its conjugate base is weak or vice-versa. And if the base is strong, its conjugate acid is weak or vice-versa.
