What will be the conjugate bases for the Bronsted acids: HF, H2SO4 and ?

Bronsted acid: A bronsted acid is a substance that can donate a proton. A bronsted acid is proton-donor.

When an acid loses a proton, the residual part of it has a tendency to regain a proton. Therefore, it behaves as a conjugate base.


Conjugate base ⇌ Conjugate acid - H+ (loses proton)
