Chemistry Question on Chemical Reactions

The correct order of basic strength is

A

H2O<OH−<CH3OH<CH3O−H _{2} O < OH ^{-}< CH _{3} OH < CH _{3} O ^{-}

B

CH3OH<H2O<CH3O−<OH−CH _{3} OH < H _{2} O < CH _{3} O ^{-}< OH ^{-}

C

H2O<CH3OH<OH−<CH3O−H _{2} O < CH _{3} OH < OH ^{-}< CH _{3} O ^{-}

D

OH−<H2O<CH3O−<CH3OHOH ^{-}< H _{2} O < CH _{3} O ^{-}< CH _{3} OH

Answer

H2O<CH3OH<OH−<CH3O−H _{2} O < CH _{3} OH < OH ^{-}< CH _{3} O ^{-}

Explanation

Solution

Strong acids has a weak conjugate base and vice-versa. →Increasing order of basic strengthH2O<CH3OH<OH−<CH3O−\xrightarrow[\text{Increasing order of basic strength}]{H _{2} O < CH _{3} OH < OH ^{-}< CH _{3} O ^{-}}
