Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the conjugate base of H2SO4?
  • Step 1: Identify the acid in the question, which is H2SO4 (sulfuric acid).
  • Step 2: Understand that a conjugate base is formed when an acid donates a proton (H+).
  • Step 3: Determine what happens when H2SO4 donates a proton. It loses one hydrogen ion (H+).
  • Step 4: Write the new chemical formula after losing H+. H2SO4 becomes HSO4-.
  • Step 5: Conclude that HSO4- is the conjugate base of H2SO4.
