Re: Achieve #3
Hi! To find the conjugate base of a molecule, you just write the molecule with one less H atom than it previously had. (This also adds a negative charge to the molecule). This is because a conjugate base is formed when an acid loses a proton; therefore, the conjugate base of HSO4- is SO42-. I hope this helps.

Re: Achieve #3
Hello, the conjugate base would be the acid with a proton (H+) removed. For this example, the conjugate base of HSO4- would be SO4(2-) once the H+ atom is removed.
Hope this helps!

Re: Achieve #3
The conjugate base is formed after an acid donates its proton, so remove the H and subtract 1 from the charge. For HSO4(-), it would become SO4(2-)

The conjugate base for HSO4- would be SO4(2-). This is true because the conjugate base for HSO4- would be the loss of a H+ ion. and the charge is now 2- because since there is no H+ ion and this ion had a + charge, the conjugate base's charge would increase by one.

The conjugate base has one less H+ than the acid, therefore, the conjugate base of HSO4- would be SO4 2- because you remove the H, which is removing a charge of +1, causing the overall charge to become -2.

Re: Achieve #3
Hello, the conjugate base of an acid is generally the acid losing a H+ proton. This can be applied to HSO4-, as we can just simply remove a H+ from this acid. This would leave us with the conjugate base of SO4-.

The conjugate base of HSO4- would be SO42- because an H+ ion is removed with the conjugate base.

Re: Achieve #3
The conjugate base would be SO42- because it is the part of the equation because it is the proton acceptor in HSO4-.

Re: Achieve #3
Like others have mentioned, the conjugate base would be SO4(2-) for HSO4- because it would lose the H+ proton. This is what makes it a conjugate base since the acid, HSO4-, lost a proton.
I also thought I'd hyperlink a video that focuses on conjugate acids and bases for more clarity! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP6RKqSp1Xw&t=147s

Re: Achieve #3
The conjugate base would be SO42- as the H+ ion is removed and add another negative charge.

Re: Achieve #3
Hey guys so I tried to put this in as my answer and it is not working? does anyone know why? Im pretty sure this is correct..
"give the formula of the conjugate base of HSO4-"
my response: SO42- (and SO4-2, I have tried switching around everything)
