Hey everyone. So in this question were asked about the conjugate base for H. Two S. 03. This is gonna be our asset. So we're gonna have a church too. S. 03 and it's gonna lose an H. Plus. So we're gonna have a church s. 0. 3. And since we're losing at H. Plus, we also need to lose a positive charge. So that's going to be a -1 charge here. I'm just going to be sick. And for the balanced equation, can I have a church too? S. 03, Rehnquist Plus H. 20. I. Quit and this is our asset. So we're gonna have a church s. 0. 3 minus Aquarius and our base is gonna gain an H. Plus, So we're gonna get h. 30 because we're also adding a positive charge. And this is Aquarius. We have hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen on both sides. Over here we have four hydrogen one suffer for oxygen in here, and for hydrogen one sulfur and for oxygen. So this is balance.
