  • question_answer
    The strongest conjugate base is:                                                                                          [AIPMT 1999]

    A)  \[NO_{3}^{-}\]                       

    B) \[C{{l}^{-}}\] 

    C)  \[SO_{4}^{2-}\]     

    D)            \[C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Weak acid forms strong conjugate base. In \[HN{{O}_{3}},\] \[HCl,\text{ }{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] and \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH,\] \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\] is weak acid so its conjugate base is strongest.
    \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\rightleftharpoons \,\underset{(conjugate\,base)}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}+{{H}^{+}}}}\,\]
