### Acid Dissociation Constants (Kₐ) and Conjugate BasesIn this section, we will explore the acid dissociation constants (Kₐ values) of different acids and determine the formula for the strongest conjugate base. The Kₐ value is a measure of the strength of an acid in solution; lower values indicate weaker acids.1. **Phenol (a weak acid)**, \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} \): - **Kₐ**: \(1.00 \times 10^{-10}\)2. **Hydrofluoric Acid (HF)**: - **Kₐ**: \(7.20 \times 10^{-4}\)3. **Acetylsalicylic Acid (aspirin)**, \( \text{HC}_9\text{H}_7\text{O}_4 \): - **Kₐ**: \(3.00 \times 10^{-4}\)Given these values, the **strongest conjugate base** is associated with the **weakest acid**, which has the lowest Kₐ value.#### Task**What is the formula for the strongest conjugate base?**\[ \boxed{\hspace{1cm}} \]The provided information presents the Kₐ values for phenol, hydrofluoric acid, and acetylsalicylic acid. Based on this information, students are expected to determine that the strongest conjugate base comes from phenol, as it has the lowest Kₐ value, indicating it is the weakest acid of the three listed.

For the following problem you should describe in complete sentences the steps you would take to solve the problem and indicate what information you obtain in each step. You do not need to find a numerical answer. You might want to use dimensional analysis to show that your answer has the correct units. Each year in the spring rhododendrons should be fertilized. The recommended fertilizer is described as 10-8-6, which means 10% N, 8% P2O5 and 6% K2O by mass. How many grams of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) would you need to produce 1 kg of fertilizer that is 10% N? You do not need to consider the other compounds that are necessary to provide phosphorous and potassium.
A student dissolves 12.4g of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) in 200.g of water in a well-insulated open cup. She then observes the temperature of the water fall from 21.0°C to 16.9°C over the course of 7 minutes. NH4NO3(s) → NH+4(aq) + NO−3(aq) You can make any reasonable assumptions about the physical properties of the solution. Be sure answers you calculate using measured data are rounded to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible the student did not do the experiment carefully, and the values you calculate may not be the same as the known and published values for this reaction. 1.
