The strongest conjugate acid will result from:

  1. [figure]
  2. [figure]
  3. [figure]
  4. [figure]

Answer

(3) [figure]

Solution

Strongest conjugate acid ( ArNH3 ) ⇔ weakest base.

Basicity of aniline depends on the availability of the lone pair on N:

−OCH3 (+R) and −CH3 (+I, hyperconjugation) at para increase electron density on N ⇒ stronger bases than aniline.

−NO2 at para (−R, −I) pulls the lone pair into the ring and the nitro group ⇒ weakest base (pKb ≈ 13.0, aniline 9.38).

Basicity: p-anisidine > p-toluidine > aniline > p-nitroaniline

∴ p-nitroaniline gives the strongest conjugate acid.
