The conjugate base of ammonium ion, $N H_{4}^{+}$ $NH_4^+$ , is ammonia, $N H_{3}$ $NH_3$ .............

Explanation:

.........And the conjugate acid of bisphosphate ion, $H P O_{4}^{2 -}$ $HPO_4^(2-)$ , is $H_{2} P O_{4}^{-}$ $H_2PO_4^-$ .

As with all of these conjugate acid/conjugate base problems, I am simply simply exchanging a proton, $H^{+}$ $H^+$ , and conserving mass AND charge. If mass and charge were not conserved, it would not be a realistic exercise.

What are the conjugate bases of $H_{2} S O_{4}$ $H_2SO_4$ , $H S O_{4}^{-}$ $HSO_4^-$ , $N H_{3}$ $NH_3$ , $H O^{-}$ $HO^-$ , and $N H_{2}^{-}$ $NH_2^-$ ? What are their conjugate acids?
