**Acid Ionization Constants and Conjugate Base Strength**To determine the strongest conjugate base, consider the given acid ionization constants (\(K_a\)) for the following acids:| **Acid** | **\(K_a\)** ||------------------|-----------------|| HF(aq) | \(3.5 \times 10^{-4}\) || HC\(_7\)H\(_5\)O\(_2\)(aq) | \(6.5 \times 10^{-5}\) || HClO\(_2\)(aq) | \(1.1 \times 10^{-2}\) || HC\(_2\)H\(_3\)O\(_2\)(aq) | \(1.8 \times 10^{-5}\) |### Explanation:- **\(K_a\) value** represents the acid strength: the lower the \(K_a\), the weaker the acid. - **Conjugate base strength** is inversely related to acid strength: weaker acids have stronger conjugate bases.### Conclusion:To identify the strongest conjugate base, find the acid with the lowest \(K_a\) value. Here, HC\(_2\)H\(_3\)O\(_2\)(aq) with \(K_a = 1.8 \times 10^{-5}\) has the lowest \(K_a\), indicating its conjugate base is the strongest.**Note:** You may want to reference Section 16.4 for further details on this topic. Here is a list of anions in aqueous solution:- \( \text{C}_7\text{H}_5\text{O}_2^- \) (aq)- \( \text{C}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2^- \) (aq)- \( \text{F}^- \) (aq)- \( \text{ClO}_2^- \) (aq)Each option represents an anion dissolved in water, indicated with (aq).

As we know, strong acid forms weak conjugate base. While weak acid forms strong conjugate base.…

Missing molar conductivity Given: Conductivity: 281 us x cm^-1 (microseconds/cm) Concentration of solution: 0.05555555556 M (mol/lit) Basically, molar conductivity = conductivity/concentration, but what I'm not sure of is the proper unit for the answer molar conductivity and if it will require the given conductivity to be converted to seconds and meter (or not? I'm not sure cause i've been seeing S⋅m2⋅mol−1 in the internet as the unit for molar conductivity)
