Hydrogen sulfide, \(\text{H}_2\text{S(aq)}\), is a weak diprotic acid present in natural mineral water. When dissolved in water, it undergoes the initial ionization reaction shown below:

\[ \text{H}_2\text{S(aq)} + \text{H}_2\text{O(l)} \rightleftharpoons \text{HS}^-\text{(aq)} + \text{H}_3\text{O}^+\text{(aq)} \]

Which species acts as the conjugate base of \(\text{H}_2\text{S(aq)}\) in this reaction?
