$S O_{4}^{2 -}$ $SO_4^(2-)$

Explanation:

Although it has a negative charge, it will never accept a $H^{+}$ $H^+$ to form $H_{2} S O^{4}$ $H_2SO^4$ (sulfuric acid) . That is because sulfuric acid is a strong acid and completely disassociates in water.

Therefore, the sulfate ion ( $S O_{4}^{2 -}$ $SO_4^(2-)$ ) is the conjugate base of $H S O_{4}^{-}$ $HSO_4^-$ .
