Question

*The strongest conjugate base is:*

1️⃣ NO₃⁻
2️⃣ Cl⁻
3️⃣ SO₄²⁻
4️⃣ CH₃COO⁻​

Answer 1

Answer:

CH3COO-

Explanation:

The strength of acid is measured by the ability to lose a proton. An acid is called as strong if it completely ionizes in water while the weak acids do not ionize completely in water, rather they partially dissociates and forms equilibrium with both the acid and conjugate base in the solution.

The ethnic acid (acetic acid) is considered as a weak acid because it does not releases all of its hydrogen in water; rather it dissociates partially and establishes equilibrium with its conjugate base.

Strong conjugate base has a weak conjugate acid. Since CH

COOH is weakest acid, therefore its conjugate base.
