In a solution containing 0.50 M CHS1U1B13S1U1B0COOH, the species with a concentration of approximately 0.50 M will be the acid itself, CHS1U1B13S1U1B0COOH, as it is the only singly charged species present in the solution. Option B contains a polyatomic anion with a charge of -2, which means it would only exist in solution at a much lower concentration than 0.50 M. Option C contains a proton, HS1U1P1+, which also cannot exist alone in solution at such a high concentration. Option D contains both CHS1U1B13S1U1B0COOH and the polyatomic anion from option B, and therefore, is not the best choice as the polyatomic anion would be present at a much lower concentration.
