Chemistry Question on Acids and Bases

What is the conjugate base of HSO4\text{HSO}_{4}^{-} ?

A

H2SO4{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}

B

HSO42HSO_{4}^{2-}

C

SO42SO_{4}^{2-}

D

H+{{H}^{+}}

Answer

SO42SO_{4}^{2-}

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is(C): SO42\text{SO}_{4}^{2-}

The conjugate base of HSO4\text{HSO}_{4}^{-} is SO42\text{SO}_{4}^{2-} as HSO4+H2OH3O++SO42HSO_{4}^{-}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{+}}+SO_{4}^{2-}
