(N/A) Bronsted acid is a proton $(H^{+})$ donor,and a Bronsted base is a proton $(H^{+})$ acceptor. The conjugate acid is formed by adding a proton $(H^{+})$ to the species,while the conjugate base is formed by removing a proton $(H^{+})$ from the species.
Species Conjugate Acid $(+H^{+})$ Conjugate Base $(-H^{+})$
$H_{2}O$ $H_{3}O^{+}$ $OH^{-}$
$HCO_{3}^{-}$ $H_{2}CO_{3}$ $CO_{3}^{2-}$
$HSO_{4}^{-}$ $H_{2}SO_{4}$ $SO_{4}^{2-}$
$NH_{3}$ $NH_{4}^{+}$ $NH_{2}^{-}$
