Q.
Order of the base strength of the compounds
AMUAMU 2010Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids
Solution:
As the electronegativity of electron donating atom decreases, base strength increases.
The order of electronegativity is
$C<\, N<\,O$
But $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ and $C_{6}H_{5}O^{-}$ both have $O$ as donor atom, thus their basicity is decided by resonance. $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ being more resonance stabilised, is less basic. Thus, the order of base strength of the given compounds is
