Question 7 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

A weak base is added to water. Which information is required to find the strength of its conjugate acid?

Answer
A
the value of Kb and the concentration of the weak base
B
the value of Kw only
C
the values of Kb and Kw
D
the values of and Kw and the concentration of the weak base

Explanation

For a conjugate acid–base pair, Ka × Kb = Kw. Therefore, the conjugate acid’s strength (Ka) is found from the weak base’s Kb and the value of Kw; the base concentration is not needed.
