What is the relation between pKb and strength of base? |
The smaller the pKb, the weaker the base The smaller the pKb, the stronger the base The larger the pKb, the weaker the base The larger the pKb, the stronger the base |
The smaller the pKb, the stronger the base |
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. |
