MCQ
Consider the following data for series of hydrogen halide Bronsted acids :-

Acid $HF$ $HCL$ $HBr$ $HI$
$K_a$ $7.2 \times 10^{-4}$ $1 \times 10^6$ $1 \times 10^9$ $3 \times 10^{11}$

Which of these Bronsted acids would have the weakest conjugate base ?

  • A
    $HF$
  • B
    $HCl$
  • C
    $HBr$
  • $HI$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$HI$
d
$\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}}=\text { Highest }\right) \Rightarrow$ Strongest acid

                                                    $ \Downarrow $

                                  weakest conjugate base
