question 73

Multiple Choice

What is the arrangement of the conjugate bases of these compounds in decreasing order of basicity?

• A)NO₃^- > CH₃COO^- > C₆H₅O^- > OH^- > HC\(\equiv\)C^-
• B)CH₃COO^- > C₆H₅O^- > NO₃^- > OH^- > HC\(\equiv\)C^-
• C)C₆H₅O^- > NO₃^- > HC\(\equiv\)C^- > OH^- > CH₃COO^-
• D)HC\(\equiv\)C^- > OH^- > C₆H₅O^- > CH₃COO^- > NO₃^-
• E)No prediction of relative base strength is possible.
