If HClO2 is a stronger acid than HF, which is stronger than HOCl, then

the order of strengths of the conjugate bases of these acids is ______ < _____ < _____

a) ClO- < F- < ClO2-
b) ClO2- < ClO- < F-
e) F- < ClO2- < ClO-
c) ClO- < ClO2- < F-
d) ClO2- < F- < ClO-

how do you do this?

1 answer

Write the order given in the problem, then reverse for the order of the conjugate bases.
For example, HCl is a STRONG acid; therefore, the Cl^- is a WEAK conjugate base.
