Answer

\begin{matrix} Acid & Conjugate \space Base \\ HI & I^-\\ HCl & Cl^-\\ N{H_4}^+ & NH_3\\ H_2S & HS^- \end{matrix}

Work Step by Step

1. To find the conjugate base of an acid, just remove one proton $(H^+)$ from it. - Remove a hydrogen, and subtract one from the charge. $HI \longrightarrow I^-$ $N{H_4}^+ \longrightarrow NH_3$ 2. To find the conjugate acid of a base, just add one proton $(H^+)$ to it. - Add a hydrogen, and sum one to the charge. $Cl^- \longrightarrow HCl$ $HS^- \longrightarrow H_2S$
