    Salicylic Acid:

    Conjugate Acid: This is a substance formed when a base accept a proton from from any acid, when it dissolved in water.

    Reaction between salicylic acid and potassium hydroxide

    HOC₆H₄COOH (aq) + KOH (aq) ⇄ HOC₆H₄COOK (aq) + H₂O (l)

    Acid ⇒ HOC₆H₄COOH (salicylic acid)

    Base ⇒ KOH (potassium hydroxide)

    Conjugate acid ⇒ H₂O (water)

    conjugate base ⇒ HOC₆H₄COOK (2-hydroxypotasium benzoate)
