Question

if hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true? the conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is stronger than that of acetic acid. the conjugate acid of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid. the conjugate acid of hydrofluoric acid is stronger than that of acetic acid. the conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid.

Explanation:

En química, se sigue la regla de que "una acidez más fuerte produce una base conjugada más débil". Dado que el ácido fluorhídrico (\(HF\)) es más fuerte que el ácido acético (\(CH_3COOH\)), su base conjugada (\(F^-\)) debe ser más débil que la base conjugada del ácido acético (\(CH_3COO^-\)).

Answer:

The conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid.
