Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a weak base with Kb = 1.0 × 10^-7 and an initial concentration of 0.1 M, calculate α and Kb.
💡 Hint: Use simplifications based on the small value of Kb.
In a scenario with a weak base dissolved at a concentration of 0.05 M in water, how would adding a common ion affect Kb?
💡 Hint: Think about Le Chatelier's Principle when ions are added.
