Question

3) the following diagrams represent aqueous solutions of three different monoprotic acids, HA, HB, and HC. Water molecules have been omitted for clarity. Rank the conjugate bases A-, B-, and C- in order of increasing strength. Explain your ranking.

Explanation / Answer

3) The acidic strength od the given acids are :-

HA < HC < HB

HB is the strongest acid so its conjugate base will be the weakest .

Increasing order of basic strength of conjugate bases :-

B- < C- < A-

4) The nitrous acid is slightly more acidic than HF so the equilibrium constant must be less than 1 .
