Question
What is the difference between a strong base and a weak base?A.A strong base is always more concentrated than a weak base.B.A strong base is not as conductive as a weak base.C.A strong base has a lower Kb than a weak base.D.A strong base produces more ions in solution than a weak base.
Solution
The difference between a strong base and a weak base lies in their ionization in water and their ability to accept protons.
A. This statement is incorrect. The strength of a base is not determined by its concentration. A base's strength is determined by its ability to donate electrons or accept protons.
B. This statement is also incorrect. In fact, a strong base is more conductive than a weak base because it ionizes completely in solution, producing more ions that can carry a charge.
C. This statement is incorrect. A strong base has a higher Kb (base ionization constant) than a weak base. The higher the Kb, the stronger the base because it indicates a greater degree of ionization in water.
D. This statement is correct. A strong base produces more ions in solution than a weak base because it ionizes completely. This is what makes the solution more conductive.
So, the correct answer is D. A strong base produces more ions in solution than a weak base.
