Step-by-Step Verified Solution
TIPS/Formulae :
The stronger the acid, the weaker the conjugate base formed.
The acid character follows the order :
C{H_3}COOH > {C_6}{H_5}OH > {H_2}O > C{H_3}OH
The basic character will follow the order
C{H_3}CO{O^ - } < {C_6}{H_5}{O^ - } < {O^ - }H < C{H_3}{O^ - }
The stronger the acid, the weaker the conjugate base formed.
The acid character follows the order :
C{H_3}COOH > {C_6}{H_5}OH > {H_2}O > C{H_3}OH
The basic character will follow the order
C{H_3}CO{O^ - } < {C_6}{H_5}{O^ - } < {O^ - }H < C{H_3}{O^ - }
