Hi there,
The question is asking for a salt that will have the weakest conjugate acid. Recall that the stronger the base, the weaker its conjugate acid.
This means that we can solve this problem if we can identify the strongest base. We can do this by identifying which salt produces the greatest amount of OH- in the solution.
NaY produces the most OH- ions, so this means that Y- is the strongest base here, and therefore would have the weakest conjugate acid.
I hope it helps. Let us know if you have more questions.

Hi there,
Thank you for your comments.
For many textbook problems, our tutors create problems/questions that are similar to the textbook problems. The video solution that you see on this page is one of those similar questions. We believe that these questions enable students to solve textbook problems by themselves.
I hope it makes sense. Let us know if you have any questions.

I do not understand how NaY not NaZ otherwise has the least 2HA
