    \[C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}\] ion is a

    A)  weak conjugate base

    B)  strong conjugate base

    C)  weak conjugate acid

    D)  strong conjugate add

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{CO}{{\text{O}}^{-}}\]is a conjugate base of\[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{COOH}\] (acetic acid), a weak acid. So, it is a strong base. (Remember! conjugate base of a weak acid is strong and vice-versa).
