Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The pH for the given solutions has to be calculated
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.
