Find the p K _b of the weak base BOH, if its K _b is 1 10⁻⁵ ?
Options
- A-5
- B5
- C10
- D10⁻⁵
Correct answer
B. 5
Step-by-step solution
The relationship between pK _b and K _b is given by: pK _b = - ₁₀( K _b) Substituting the given value K _b = 1 10⁻⁵ : pK _b = - ₁₀(1 10⁻⁵) pK _b = -(-5) pK _b = 5 Answer: 5
