H Hugh Mannity Full Member 10+ Year Member 15+ Year Member Jul 6, 2008 #2 I would say C. Remove only 1 proton. CB of C is B and CB of B is A. Upvote 0 Downvote

osimsDDS Full Member 10+ Year Member 5+ Year Member 15+ Year Member Jul 6, 2008 #4 These are polyprotic (more than 1 H+), if you have for example HCl its conjugate base would be Cl- (just 1 H+), also it is a strong acid so its CB would be a weak base...thats pretty important to note Upvote 0 Downvote
