What is the relation between pKb and strength of base?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The smaller the pKb, the stronger the base.
Kb is the base dissociation constant. The base dissociation constant is a measure of how completely a base dissociates into its component ions in water.
pKb = -log Kb.
A large Kb value indicates the high level of dissociation of a strong base. A lower pKb value indicates a stronger base.
