Which is the strongest conjugate base and why? For part b

**Exercise: Analyzing Weak Monoprotic Acids** Consider the following three weak monoprotic acids: - **Acetic Acid (CH₃COOH)** - \( K_a = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \) - **Benzoic Acid (C₆H₅COOH)** - \( K_a = 6.5 \times 10^{-5} \) - **Nitrous Acid (HNO₂)** - \( K_a = 4.5 \times 10^{-4} \) **Questions:** a) **The strongest acid is (circle the correct answer):** - Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) - Benzoic acid (C₆H₅COOH) - Nitrous acid (HNO₂) b) **The strongest conjugate base is (circle the correct answer):** - Acetate ion (CH₃COO⁻) - Benzoate ion (C₆H₅COO⁻) - Nitrite ion (NO₂⁻)
