K, for hypochlorous acid, HCIO, is 3.50x108 K, for benzoie acid, CgH COOH, is 6.30 105 K, for nitrous acid, HNO2, is 4.50x10-4 What is the formula for the strongest conjugate base? Retry Entire Group 2 more group attempts remaining

Explanation / Answer

Correct answer is ClO-

Hypochlorous acid HClO is the weakest acid here because its Ka is lowest among the given three compounds.

Now Kb = 10-14 / Ka

since Ka is lowest therefore Kb will be highest which indicates base dissociation constant of conjugate base or in other words, conjugate base of hypochlorous acid will be stongest
