Correct answer: B. The stronger the base

  • A. The weaker the base
  • B. The stronger the base
  • C. The stronger the acid
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

pKb is the negative logarithm of the base dissociation constant, K(-log Kb ). A smaller pKb value corresponds to a larger Kb value, which indicates a greater extent of dissociation and therefore a stronger base.
