Write the conjugate bases of the following acids ? H₂S , HCOOH ,HSO₃¯ , HSO¯₄ , HS¯, HNO₂ ,HCN,?

HS(-)

HCOO(-)

SO3(2-)

SO4(2-)

S(2-)

NO2(-)

CN(-)

Explanation:

The parenthesis are the charges of the compounds. When an acid is introduced in a base, it dissociates its Hydrogens giving protons to the base. In this case, if you remove one hydrogen of a compound, you will reduce the charge of a compound since basically you're removing a positive charge from a compound. If you need to, I can explain how the thing of the charges work.

In fact, the definition of a conjugate base is a compound created when the original (an acid) compound dissacioate an atom of hydrogen (a proton) in a base.
