### Ranking Molecules by Basicity

This exercise involves using the information in the \( pK_a \) table to rank molecules in order of decreasing basicity. The objective is to select "1" for the strongest base, "2" for the next strongest, and so on.

#### Molecule Options

- \( \text{CH}_3^- \)
- \( \text{HS}^- \)
- \( \text{F}^- \)
- \( \text{CH}_3\text{CO}_2^- \)

Each molecule has a drop-down option to assign its rank.

#### \( pK_a \) Table

The \( pK_a \) table provides \( pK_a \) values for different acidic molecules. The \( pK_a \) is a measure of acid strength; a higher \( pK_a \) value indicates a weaker acid, which often correlates with a stronger conjugate base. Here are the molecules and their \( pK_a \) values:

- **CH\(_4\)**: 48
- **NH\(_3\)**: 38
- **H\(_2\)**: 36
- **CH\(_3\)NH\(_2\)**: 33
- **H\(_2\)O**: 15.7
- **CH\(_3\)OH**: 15.5
- **CH\(_3\)NH\(_3^+\)**: 10.6
- **CH\(_3\)SH**: 10.4
- **HCN**: 9.4
- **NH\(_4^+\)**: 9.2
- **H\(_2\)S**: 7.00
- **CH\(_3\)CO\(_2\)H**: 4.76
- **HF**: 3.17
- **H\(_3\text{O}^+\)**: -1.7
- **CH\(_3\)OH\(_2^+\)**: -2.2
- **H\(_2\)SO\(_4\)**: -3.0
- **HCl**: -7
- **HBr**: -9

Use the \( pK_a \) values to determine the basicity of each conjugate
