Conjugate acid of a weak base is always stronger. What will be the decreasing order of basic strength of the following conjugate bases?
OH^{-}, RO^{-}, ch_{3}coo^{-} , cl^{-}

We know that, stronger is the acid, weaker is its conjugate base. Now we know that the conjugate base of a strong acid is weak therefore the decreasing order of basic strength will be;RO^{-}> OH^{-}> CH_{3}COO^{-} > Cl^{-}
