The conjugate base of HSO₄^- is ________. A)H₂SO₄ B)HSO₄⁺ C)H⁺ D)SO₄^2- E)HSO₃⁺

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conjugate base of a substance is formed by removing a proton (H+) from it. The given formula, HSO₄^-, represents a compound with a hydrogen (H) that can be removed. Upon removal of this hydrogen, the compound becomes SO₄^2-, which matches choice D. This is because the removal of H+ results in an increase in the negative charge by one unit.
