Explanation / Answer

1. Conjugate base is obtained by the removal of one proton from the given species.

HSO4- : SO42-

HCO3- : CO32-

H2O : OH-

OH- : O2-

H3O+ : H2O

NH4+ : NH3

CH3NH3+ : CH3NH2

HF : F-

CH3COOH : CH3COO-

2.

Cojugate acid is obtained by adding a proton to the given species.

SO42- : HSO4-

CO32- : HCO3-

OH- : H2O

H2O : H3O+

O2- : OH-

NH3 : NH4+

CH3NH2 : CH3NH3+

CN- : HCN

CH3COO- : CH3COOH

F- : HF

HCO3- : H2CO3

NH2- : NH3
