Answer» Correct Answer - A Strong acid will have a weak conjugate base and vice versa (Bronsted-Lowery concept of acids-base). Acidic charatcer of conjugate acids is `H_(2)O gt ROH gt HC -= CH` `:.` the order of basicity is `underset("weakest base")(OH^(-)) lt underset("strongest base")( RO^(-)lt HC -= C^(-))` |
