Question

The table below gives acid ionization constants for a selection of weak acids

Acid                                  Ka
HOAc                                1.8*10^-5
HC7H5O2                          6.3*10^-5
HNO2                                 4.5*10^-4
HF                                       6.8*10^-4

Using the data in the table, which of the conjugate bases below is the strongest base?

all are equally strong bases
