Which of the following species can act as the strongest base ?

A

`""^(Theta)OH`

B

`""^(Theta)OR`

C

`""^(Theta)OC_6H_5`

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Weakest acid has the strongest conjugate base. ROH is the acid of RO- conjugate base, HOH is the acid of `""^(-)OH,C_6H_5OH` is the acid of `C_6H_5O^(-)` and
Among all these acids, ROH is the weakest acid. Therefore, the strongest base is `RO^-`.
