Explanation / Answer

ANS: A) The weaker acid is CH4. Because compared to water, methane cannot donate a proton as the conjugate base is highly unstable

B) Its conjugate base is CH3-. Its highly unstable

  C) The species that predominate at equillibrium are C and D. They are the stable products at equillibrium
