Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Base

The given base is the carbonate ion, \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\).

Step 2: Understand the Concept of Conjugate Acid

A conjugate acid is formed when a base gains a proton (\(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)).

Step 3: Add a Proton to the Base

To find the conjugate acid of \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\), add one proton (\(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)) to it: \[ \mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-} + \mathrm{H}^{+} \rightarrow \mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-} \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-}}\)
