Among three bases, X−, Y−, and Z−, the strongest one is Y−, and the weakest one is Z−. Rank their conjugate acids, HX, HY, and HZ, in order of decreasing strength. Rank the acids from strongest to weakest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

Respuesta :

Answer: HZ > HX > HY in order of decreasing strengths.

Explanation: Generally, the rule is that the stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base and vice versa; same rule applies for bases and their conjugate acids.

So the weakest base Z- would have the strongest conjugate acid. Consequently, the strongest base Y- would have the weakest conjugate acid.

I hope this was MORE helpful as this is the correct answer.

The ranking of the conjugate acids in order of decreasing strength (i.e from strongest to weakest) is; HZ < HX < HY

First we must know that the stronger a base is, the weaker is it's conjugate acid and the weaker a base is, the stronger is it's conjugate acid.

Therefore, the order of decreasing strength of the conjugate acid is; HZ < HX < HY
