Chapter 3, Problem 7PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The stronger base is to be identified using
Concept introduction:
The strength of an acid is generally described in terms of acidity constant
A large value of
The value of
The higher is the dissolution constant, that is, the reagent can produce more ions when dissolved in water, the stronger is the acid. Thus, by the above relation, strong acids have low
The stronger the acid, the weaker is its conjugate base.
Larger the value of
