What is the formula and name of the conjugate base of each bronsted-lawry acid?

I'm not going to give you the answers, but I can tell you how to determine them. In a compound, first determine if it is an acid to a base. To determine this, figure out if the compund has a polyatomic element in it and if that polyatomic element is bonded to an H or an OH. (Not all are bonded to a polyatomic element; some are bonded just to an element ) If it is bonded to an H it is and acid, and if it is bonded to an OH, then its a base.
