The pKa of phenol is 10.0 and the pKa of para-nitrophenol is 7.2. Given this information, one knows thatThe conjugate base of para-nitrophenol must be less stable than the conjugate base of phenolThe conjugate acid of para-nitrophenol must be more stable than the conjugate base of phenolThe conjugate base of para-nitrophenol must be more stable than the conjugate base of phenolBoth acids are bases Consider the following reaction at equilibrium.NH3 + H₂O <-> NH4+ + OHWhat would happen to the equilibrium if the hydroxide was removed as fast as it wasproduced?the rate of formation of ammonia would decreasethe rate of formation of ammonia would increasethe rate of formation of hydroxide would stay the sameremoving of the hydroxide is not possible as it violates the second law ofthermodynamics

Based on the information provided, it is reasonable to conclude that the conjugate base of…
