Base Strength: Measuring Dissociation And Hydroxide Concentration
Strong bases, such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, are highly dissociated in water and produce high concentrations of hydroxide ions. Weak bases, such as ammonia and pyridine, are less dissociated and produce lower concentrations of hydroxide ions. The strength of a base is determined by its dissociation constant (Kb), which is a measure of … Read more
