Interpretation:
The pH of a 0.61-M solution of a weak base is with
Concept Information:
Strong base and weak base:
Strong base dissociates into its constituent ions fully. It produces more of hydroxide ions while dissolved in water. Weak bases partially dissociates into its constituent ions.
According to Bronsted-Lowry, strong base is a good proton acceptor whereas weak base is a poor proton acceptor
Since, the ionization of a weak base is incomplete, it is treated in the same way as the ionization of a weak acid.
The ionization of a weak base
The equilibrium expression for the ionization of weak base
Where,
The
Relationship between
The relationship between the hydronium ion concentration and the hydroxide ion concentration is given by the equation,
As
To Calculate: The pH of the given weak base
