Question
What will be the decreasing order of basic strength of the following conjugate bases ? OH,RO,CH COO,Cl (A) Cl > OH > R O > CH3COO (B) RO >–OH > CH3CO O > Cl (C) –OH > RO > CH3 COO > Cl (D) Cl > RO > –OH > CH3CO O
Answer: B
💡 Solution & Explanation
Strong acid have weak conjugate base Acidic strength : H–Cl > CH3COOH > H2O > R–OH Conjugate base strength : Cl– < CH3COO– < OH < RO–
