What is the conjugate base of H2S?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the conjugate base of the compound H2S (hydrogen sulfide). This involves identifying the species that remains after H2S donates a proton (H+). The answer will typically be a single ion or molecule formed by this deprotonation process.
Answer
HS-
The conjugate base of H2S is HS- (bisulfide anion).
Answer for screen readers
The conjugate base of H2S is HS- (bisulfide anion).
More Information
The removal of a hydrogen ion (H+) from the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) molecule results in the formation of the bisulfide anion, HS-, which is the conjugate base.
Tips
A common mistake is forgetting to adjust the charge when removing the proton.
