Understand the Problem

The question is asking to identify the strongest conjugated base based on the provided pKa values. The understanding is that a lower pKa value indicates a stronger acid and thus a stronger conjugate base will correspond to a higher pKa value.

Answer

The strongest conjugate base is from pKa 18.

The conjugate base from the acid with a pKa of 18 is the strongest.

Answer for screen readers

The conjugate base from the acid with a pKa of 18 is the strongest.

More Information

The acid with the highest pKa is the weakest, making its conjugate base the strongest.

Tips

A common mistake is thinking a lower pKa means a stronger base. Remember, pKa is inversely related to acid strength.
