  2. HPO4^2-
  3. NO3-
  4. SO4^2-
  5. ClO4-

In the following reaction in aqueous solution, the acid reactant is __________, and its conjugate base product is __________. CH3NH2 + HSO4^- <–> CH3NH3^+ + SO4^2–

  1. CH3NH2; CH3NH3+
  2. HSO4-; SO4^2-
  3. CH3NH2; SO4^2-
  4. HSO4-; H3O+
  5. HSO4-; CH3NH3+

Three acids found in foods are lactic acid (in milk products), oxalic acid (in rhubarb), and malic acid (in apples). The pKa values are LA = 3.88, OA = 1.23, and MA = 3.40. Which list has the conjugate bases of these acids in order of decreasing strength? *

  1. Lactate > oxalate > malate
  2. Oxalate > Lactate > malate
  3. Oxalate > malate > lactate
  4. malate > lactate > Oxalate
  5. Lactate > malate > oxalate
