The question is incomplete. Complete question is:
<span>Consider the given acid ionization constants. identify the strongest conjugate base.
</span>HNO2(aq) 4.6×10−4
HCHO2(aq) 1.8×10−4
HClO(aq) 2.9×10−8
HCN(aq) 4.9×10−10
.........................................................................................................................
Correct Answer: option 4: HCN(aq) 4.9×10−10
Reason:
According to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid and base. Stronger the acid, weaker will be the conjugate base.
In present case, ionization constant is highest of HCN i.e. 4.9×
. This signifies that, it is the strongest acid. Hence, conjugate base associated with this acid (i.e. 
) is the weakest.
