I need help with this question. Can you help me to show the work like step by step

8.16) What is the base form of H₂S?
Answer: HS-
EXPLANATION:
The base form of a conjugate pair contains one fewer H+ than the acid form.
The base form is obtained by removing an H+ from the acid form.
●
• Note that when an H+ is removed from a species, its charge decreases by one
charge unit. H₂S has zero charge, however when an H+ is removed, it is converted
to HS-; the charge decreases by one charge unit.
