Question

The correct order of basic strength is

• A. $H _{2} O < OH ^{-}< CH _{3} OH < CH _{3} O ^{-}$
• B. $CH _{3} OH < H _{2} O < CH _{3} O ^{-}< OH ^{-}$
• C. $H _{2} O < CH _{3} OH < OH ^{-}< CH _{3} O ^{-}$
• D. $OH ^{-}< H _{2} O < CH _{3} O ^{-}< CH _{3} OH$

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Strong acids has a weak conjugate base and vice-versa. $\xrightarrow[\text{Increasing order of basic strength}]{H _{2} O < CH _{3} OH < OH ^{-}< CH _{3} O ^{-}}$
