Question

Decide if the following statements are true or false.

True False  The weaker the acid, the stronger the conjugate base.

True False  The Ka equilibrium constant always refers to the reaction of an acid with water to produce the conjugate base of the acid and the hydronium ion.

True False  Strong acids are assumed 100% dissociated in water.

True False  The conjugate base of a weak acid is a strong base.

True False  As a solution becomes more basic, the pOH of the solution increases.

True False  As the Kb value for a base increases, base strength increases.

Explanation / Answer

1) True : The weaker the acid, the stronger the conjugate base.

2)True : The Ka equilibrium constant always refers to the reaction of an acid with water to produce the conjugate base of the acid and the hydronium ion.

3)True Strong acids are assumed 100% dissociated in water.

4)False: The conjugate base of a weak acid is a strong base.

5) False : As a solution becomes more basic, the pOH of the solution increases.

6)True : As the Kb value for a base increases, base strength increases.
