Answer

The chemical formula for the conjugate acid of $S{O_4}^{2-}$ is: $HS{O_4}^-$

Work Step by Step

To find the conjugate acid of a base, you just need to add a proton $(H^+)$ to the compound. 1. Add one hydrogen. $S{O_4}^{2-} --\gt HS{O_4}^{2-}$ 2. Add "+1" to the charge of the compound: $-2 -- \gt -1$ $HS{O_4}^{2-} --\gt HS{O_4}^-$
