The generic equation for a reaction between an acid and water is

$HX_{(aq)} + H_{2}O_{(aq)} -- X_{(aq)}^{-} + H_{3}O_{(aq)}^+$

When an acid "reacts" with water, water acts as the base that accepts the proton (H+) from the acid. The remaining ion that is formed after the acid has donated its proton is called the conjugate base ( X^-

), and the conjugate acid-base pair is

.

Hydrogen sulfate ( $HSO_{4}^-$ ) is an ion from sulfuric acid. It is still an acid in itself and can "react" with water (( $H_{2}O$ ) to form the sulfate ( $SO_{4}^2-$ ) and hydronium ( $H_{3}O^+$ )ions.

$HSO_{4(aq)}^{-} + H_{2}O_{(aq)} -- SO_{4(aq)}^{2-} + H_{3}O_{(aq)}^+$

Based on the previous discussion, $SO_{4(aq)}^2-$ is identified to be the conjugate of the acid $HSO_{4(aq)}^-$ . Thus, the conjugate acid-base pair is $HSO_{4(aq)}^{-} - SO_{4(aq)}^{2-}$ .
