Explanation / Answer

The stronger the acid strength of a compound the weaker it's conjugate base:

Compounds ordered from strongest to weakest acid strength: HCIO4, H2SO4, HI, HBr, HCl, HNO3, HSO4-, H3PO4, HF, HNO2, H2CO3, H2S, NH4+, HCN, HCO3-.

Of the acids HCl or HF, the one with the stronger conjugate base is: HF

Of the acids H3PO4 or HCIO4, the one with the stronger conjugate base is: H3PO4

Of the acids HCN or HSO4- the one with the stronger conjugate base is: HCN

Of the acids HF or NH4+, the one with the stronger conjugate base is: NH4+
