Question

Consider the given acid ionization constants. identify the strongest conjugate base. acid ka hf(aq) 3.5×10−4 hc7h5o2(aq) 6.5×10−5 hclo2(aq) 1.1×10−2 hc2h3o2(aq) 1.8×10−5 you may want to reference (pages 729 - 731) section 16.4 while completing this problem.

Answer 1

higher Ka value= stronger acid

stronger acids have weaker conjugate bases, so the acid with the strongest conjugate base would be acetic acid
