Which has the strongest conjugate base? Phenol
1.3 x 10-10

Formic
1.8 x 10-4

Lactic
1.4 x 10-4

Phenol.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for this question about the strength of the resulting conjugate base, it is possible for us to know that the higher the Ka (stronger aid) the weaker the conjugate base. In such a way, since the phenol has the smallest Ka (weakest acid) we infer that it has the strongest conjugate base.

In addition to the aforementioned, the reason why phenol was the answer is because the Kb of its conjugate base is the greatest due to the Kb=Kw/Ka and thus, the smaller the Ka the bigger Kb.

Regards!

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
