Three acids found in foods are lactic acid, LA, (in milk products), oxalic acid, OA, (in rhubarb), and malic acid, MA (in apples). The pKa values are LA =3.88, OA =1.23, and MA =3.40. Which list has the conjugate bases of these acids, lactate, oxalate, and malate, in order of decreasing strength? lactate > malate > oxalate lactate > oxalate > malate malate > lactate > oxalate oxalate > malate > lactate
