What is dissociation constant of a weak base `(K_(b))`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The dissociation constant of a weak base is the ratio of the product of molar concentrations of the products of ionisation to the molar concentration of the un-ionised base at equilibrium.
`BOHhArrB^(+)+OH^(-)`
`thereforeK_(b)=([B^(+)][OH^(-)])/([BOH])`
