Question 3 Achieve

[Nathan Morgan 2C]

Hello! I was curious about what I was doing wrong. For the conjugate bases, I know that you remove hydrogen, so I was removing it and getting SO4, but Achieve is saying that is incorrect. Can anyone help me?

Make sure that your charges are correct when you put in the answer!!

A conjugate base should be more negative (less charged). SO4 is step in the right direction, just think about how the charge will be affected when the H+ is removed from the acid.

Achieve provides this equation: HSO−4 = conjugate base + H+
Think about what charge is needed so that both sides of the equation are equal in charge and mass.

Hope that helps!

I have been typing an answer in as (SO4)2- and it is still saying it is wrong? Anyone know if there is a specific formatting I need to do.
