MCQ
Assertion : The acetate ion is resonance stabilized.
Reason : Acetate ion is more basic than the methoxide ion.
  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: C.
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
c
Assertion is correct as conjugate base of a strong acid is weak. Since $CH_3COOH$ is a stronger acid than $CH_3OH, CH_3COO^-$ is a weaker base than $OCH_3^-$
