Arrange the given species in order of their increasing basic character : \[{{H}_{2}}O,\,O{{H}^{-}},\,C{{H}_{3}}OH,\,C{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{-}}\]

Answer:

                Applying the concept that a strong acid has a weak conjugate base, order of basic character is : \[{{H}_{2}}O<C{{H}_{3}}OH<O{{H}^{-}}\,<C{{H}_{3}}{{O}^{-}}\]
