1.	Conjugate acid of a weak base is always stronger. What will be the decreasing order of basic strength of the following conjugate bases ? OH^(-), RO^(-) , CH_3COO^(-) , Cl^(-)
Answer» SOLUTION :Conjugate acid of the given BASES are `H_2O, ROH, CH_3COOH` and HCL. Order of their acidic strength is `HCl gt CH_3COOH gt H_2O gt ROH` HENCE, order of basic strength of their conjugate bases is `Cl lt CH_3COO lt OH^(-) lt RO^-`
