According to Bronsted-Lowry concept, the correct order of relative strength of bases follows the orderA. `CH_(3)COO^(-) gt Cl^(-) lt OH^(-)`B. `CH_(3)COO^(-) gt OH^(-) gt Cl^(-)`C. `OH^(-) gt CH_(3)COO^(-) gt Cl^(-)`D. `OH^(-) gt Cl^(-) gt CH_(3)COO^(-)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - C 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^(-)`. |
