Which ones are weak and which are strong?
1 Answer
Explanation:
Strong bases are bases that virtually completely dissociate in an aqueous solution.
Weak bases are bases that only somewhat dissociate.
#Sr(OH)_2#
We can see that the base is
So, we can safely say that this is a strong base.
#NH_3#
Our original base is
This means that it does not completely dissociate in water, therefore making it a weak base.
#NaOH#
#NaHCO_3#
This image is a bit more difficult to understand, because there are actually two reactions taking place here.
The first reaction is the dissociation of
This happens with basically every
Then, some
But we can see that this reaction doesn't happen too often, because many are still staying as
Therefore, this would be a weak base.
