**Conjugate Bases in Chemistry**

**Question**: Write the formula of the conjugate base of C₆H₅SH.

*Below the question is a virtual keyboard with various symbols and numbers which can be used to input the chemical formula.*

---

**Explanation:**

In general, to determine the conjugate base of a given molecule, you remove one hydrogen ion (H⁺) from the molecule. 

For the molecule C₆H₅SH (thiophenol), the removal of one hydrogen ion (H⁺) results in the conjugate base C₆H₅S⁻. 

To input this using the given virtual keyboard:
1. Enter the chemical symbols (C, H, S) along with their corresponding subscripts (₆, ₅).
2. Add the appropriate charge symbol (⁻) to indicate the loss of one proton (H⁺).

Therefore, the correct formula of the conjugate base of C₆H₅SH is **C₆H₅S⁻**.
