    The strongest Bronsted base is

    A) \[ClO_{3}^{-}\]

    B)  \[ClO_{2}^{-}\]

    C)  \[ClO_{4}^{-}\]

    D)  \[Cl{{O}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Strongest Bronsted base is that which has weakest conjugate acid. Base            Conjugate acid           \[(base\,+{{H}^{+}})\] Base                                                 Conjugate acid \[(base\,+{{H}^{+}})\] \[Cl{{O}^{-}}\]                                                 \[HClO\] \[ClO_{2}^{-}\]                                                \[HCl{{O}_{2}}\] \[ClO_{3}^{-}\]                                              \[HCl{{O}_{3}}\] \[ClO_{4}^{-}\]                                              \[HCl{{O}_{4}}\] \[\because \] \[\text{HClO}\]is weak conjugate acid. \[\therefore \] \[\text{Cl}{{\text{O}}^{-}}\]is strongest Bronsted base.
