Question
Which of the following acids have relatively strong conjugate bases?a. $\mathrm{HCN}$b. $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{S}$c. $\mathrm{HBrO}_{4}$d. $\mathrm{HNO}_{3}$
Step 1
The strength of an acid is inversely proportional to the strength of its conjugate base. This means that a strong acid will have a weak conjugate base, and a weak acid will have a strong conjugate base. Show more…
