According to Bronsted-Lowry concept, the correct order of relative strength of bases follows the order

Answer»

`CH_(3)COO^(-) gt Cl^(-) lt OH^(-)`
`CH_(3)COO^(-) gt OH^(-) gt Cl^(-)`
`OH^(-) gt CH_(3)COO^(-) gt Cl^(-)`
`OH^(-) gt Cl^(-) gt CH_(3)COO^(-)`

SOLUTION :Relative of bases can be shown by their CONJUGATE acids.
Conjugate acid or `OH^(-)` is `H_(2)O` which is a weak acid conjugate acid of `CH_(3)COO^(-)` is `CH_(3)COOH` which is stronger than `H_(2)O`. While conjugate acid of `Cl^(-)` is HCL which is strongest out of there. so the order of relative strength of bases is `OH^(-) gt CH_(3)COO^(-) gt Cl^(-)`.
