A
B
C
D
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the compound for which you need to find the conjugate base. In this case, it is H2Se.
Understand that a conjugate base is formed when an acid donates a proton (H+).
Remove one hydrogen ion (H+) from H2Se. This will leave you with HSe.
Since a proton (H+) is removed, the remaining species will have a negative charge. Therefore, the conjugate base of H2Se is HSe^-.
Write the formula of the conjugate base: HSe^-. This represents the species formed after H2Se donates a proton.
