Concept explainers
a) Magnesium acetate, magnesium hydroxide and methylmagnesium bromide
Interpretation:
Magnesium acetate, magnesium hydroxide and methylmagnesium bromide are to be arranged in the increasing order of their basicity.
Concept introduction:
The conjugate base of a strong acid is weaker. In other words, a strong acid will yield a weak base. The basicity of compounds will be reverse of the strength of acids from which they are formed.
To arrange:
Magnesium acetate, magnesium hydroxide and methylmagnesium bromide are to be arranged in the increasing order of their basicity.
b) Sodium benzoyate, sodium p-nitrobenzoate, sodium acetylide
Interpretation:
Sodium benzoyate, sodium p-nitrobenzoate and sodium acetylide are to be arranged in the increasing order of their basicity.
Concept introduction:

c) Lithium hydroxide, lithium ethoxide, lithium formate
Interpretation:
Lithium hydroxide, lithium ethoxide and lithium formate are to be arranged in the increasing order of their basicity.
