Compare the conjugate bases of these three acids. Acid 1: hypochlorous acid , HClO Acid 2: phosphoric acid , H3PO4 Acid 3: hydrogen sulfide , HS- What is the formula for the weakest conjugate base ?

The weakest conjugate is HClO-.

Explanation:

As a general rule, the stronger the Bronsted-Lowry acid, the weaker its conjugate base, and vice versa.  

Acid 1: HClO is a strong acid, hence its conjugate base would be weak

Acid 2: H3PO4 is a weak acid, hence its conjugate base would be strong

Acid 3: hydrogen sulphide is also a moderately weak acid with a moderately strong conjugate base.

In order of increasing strengths:

HClO < H2S < H3PO4

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
