Question

What is the conjugate base of ${\mathrm{HSO}}_4^{-}$?

Answer 1

Conjugate base

• When a proton is removed from an acid, a conjugate base is formed.
• Conjugate bases have one proton less and one more negative charge compared to the species that is forming it.

Conjugate base of ${\mathrm{HSO}}_4^{-}$

• The conjugate base of ${\mathrm{HSO}}_4^{-}$ is ${\mathrm{SO}}_4^{2-}$.
