I'm a bit confused about a question:
Write the formula of the conjugate base for acid HF.
The answer is F- but then it asks me:
Write the name of the conjugate base found in part A. (which is the question I just did.)

Is there something that I am missing? I used Fluoride but that was considered wrong.

Bah, I got it.

Though I am a bit confused on writing the conjugate base for $$PH4^+$$

ok when you change an acid to a base you remove ONE hydrogen and REDUCE the charge by one, of example $$NH _{4}^{+}$$ when changed in to a base will be $$NH _{3}$$
