Tha acid donates a hydrogen ion and the base receives a hydrogen ion. Now look at your examples. I'll give you the first answer. The H2SO4 donates a hydrogen ion and becomes HSO4-. So determine which is the acid and the conjugate base.
Among the reactants, which looks like it is going to gain a Hydrogen ion? It is the base.

HC2H3O2 is the acid and C2H3O2 is the conjugate base. H2O is the backside and H3O is the conjugate acid. A conjugate acid-base pair is a pair of acid and base that in the process straightforward terms differs with the presence or absence of a proton of H+. additionally each and everything left of the <---> is in simple terms an acid or base and each little thing maximum suitable is the conjugate.
