The species: $H_{2}O$,$HCO_{3}^{-}$,$HSO_{4}^{-}$,and $NH_{3}$ can act both as Bronsted acids and bases. For each case,give the corresponding conjugate acid and conjugate base.
$A$ 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 to the species,while the conjugate base is formed by removing a proton from the species. The results are summarized in the table below:
| Species | Conjugate Acid | Conjugate Base |
| $H_{2}O$ | $H_{3}O^{+}$ | $OH^{-}$ |
| $HCO_{3}^{-}$ | $H_{2}CO_{3}$ | $CO_{3}^{2-}$ |
| $HSO_{4}^{-}$ | $H_{2}SO_{4}$ | $SO_{4}^{2-}$ |
| $NH_{3}$ | $NH_{4}^{+}$ | $NH_{2}^{-}$ |
