bronsted acid, base, conjugate acid, base

C6H5COOH+NaOH<-------> C6H5COONa+H2O

Bronsted base= NaOH?
Bronsted acid= C6H5COOH?

Conjugate Acid= H20?
Conjugate base=C6H5COONa?

Yes, except that I would remove the unreacting cations. But it's just a detail I guess.
Very stenographic kind of post though!

I don't think you can refer to the NaOH molecule as "Bronsted base". Write net ionic reaction equations.
