Draw the conjugate base form of each acid listed below, then rank the acids in order or decreasing acidity (1 = most acidic).
Explain your reasoning.
The ammonium species is the most acidic because its conjugate base is the most stable (because its neutral).
Neutral amines aren't acidic because their conjugate bases are very unstable- a nitrogen with a negative formal charge is a very strong base.
