Hydroxide and so-called hydronium ion.

Explanation:

To formulate the conjugate acid/conjugate base, we simply add or subtract a proton, H^+, and conserve charge. The conjugate acid of water is represented as H_3O^+. And the conjugate base of water is ""^(-)OH.

Can you tell the conjugate acid, and the conjugate base of H_2SO_4, sulfuric acid?
