Answer:
b < c < a < d
Explanation:
The weak acid with the lowest pKa will be the most acidic. In the other way, the conjugate base which the acid is weak will be strong.
The weak base with the lowest pKb will be the most basic. And the conjugate base of the weak base will be a strong acid.
Ka Acetic acid = 1.8x10-5
Ka HCN = 1.9x10-10
Kb pyridine = 1.7x10-9
Kb NH3 = 1.8x10-5
NH4Br is the conjugate base of a weak base. That means is a strong acid.
NH4Br has the lowest pH
NaBr is the conjugate base of a strong acid, HBr. That means NaBr is neutral
The most basic between the conjugate base of the acetic acid, NaCH3CO2 and KCN is KCN because the acetic acid is the stronger acid regard to HCN.
The rank is:
NH4Br < NaBr < NaCH3CO2 < KCN
<h3>b < c < a < d</h3>
