Hydroxide and so-called hydronium ion.

Explanation:

To formulate the conjugate acid/conjugate base, we simply add or subtract a proton, #H^+#, and conserve charge. The conjugate acid of water is represented as #H_3O^+#. And the conjugate base of water is #""^(-)OH#.

Can you tell the conjugate acid, and the conjugate base of #H_2SO_4#, sulfuric acid?
