Question

CH 3 COO - ion is a (A) weak conjugate base (B) strong conjugate base (C) weak conjugate acid (D) strong conjugate add

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

CH 3 COO - is a conjugate base of CH 3 COOH (acetic acid), a weak acid. So, it is a strong base. (Remember ! conjugate base of a weak acid is strong and vice-versa).
