Answer

a. Br- ion is the conjugate base of HBr. b. $HCO_{3}$- ion is the conjugate base of $H_{2}CO_{3}$. c. $ClO_{4}$- ion is the conjugate base of $HClO_{4}$. d. $C_{2}H_{3}O_{2}$- ion is the conjugate base of $HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}$.

Work Step by Step

a. Br- ion is the conjugate base of HBr because it can accept a hydrogen proton. b. $HCO_{3}$- ion is the conjugate base of $H_{2}CO_{3}$ because it can accept a hydrogen proton. c. $ClO_{4}$- ion is the conjugate base of $HClO_{4}$ because it can accept a hydrogen proton. d. $C_{2}H_{3}O_{2}$- ion is the conjugate base of $HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}$ because it can accept a hydrogen proton.
