Solution

A conjugate acid, within the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, is a species formed by the reception of a proton by a base—in other words, it is a base with a hydrogen ion added to it.
Conjugate base: substance formed when an acid loses a hydrogen ion. Considered a base because it can gain a hydrogen ion to reform the acid.
Therefore conjugate base is HSO4-
And conjugate acid is H3O+
