A weak base is a substance that partially dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions. It has a lower tendency to accept protons compared to a strong base, resulting in a higher equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction. Weak bases typically have a low pH value when dissolved in water.
A weak base will always partially ionize in solution and generate fewer hydroxide ions compared to a strong base. This means that a weak base will have a lower pH compared to a strong base at the same concentration. Weak bases also have higher Kb values compared to strong bases.
Some of the original base remains in the solution
A weak base has a low tendency to accept protons, resulting in a lower pH when compared to a strong base. Weak bases do not ionize completely in aqueous solutions, leading to a smaller concentration of hydroxide ions. They exhibit limited reactivity with water because they do not dissociate completely.
b) The conjugate acid of a weak base is a weak acid. When a base accepts a proton to form its conjugate acid, it tends to be a weak acid because it does not easily donate a proton back. This relationship is governed by the principles of acid-base equilibrium.

The pH of a weak base can be anything greater than 7.0. Generally, weak bases do have a lower pH that strong bases, but this is not always true. The fact that a base is weak only means that it does not completely ionize in solution. The pH of a weak base depends only upon the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution.

True http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia#Properties
True. It is possible to have a concentrated solution of a weak acid or base, as the concentration of a solution refers to the amount of solute dissolved in a solvent, regardless of the strength of the acid or base. The degree of dissociation may be low, but the concentration can still be high.
Ammonia is a weak base
Ethanol is a weak base.
A weak base is a type of base. This type of base is considered weak because when it is put in an aqueous solution, it cannot ionize.
The pH at the equivalence point is not always 7 because it depends on the nature of the acid and base being titrated. If a strong acid and strong base are used, the pH will be close to 7 at the equivalence point. However, if a weak acid or weak base is involved, the pH may be higher or lower than 7 due to the presence of excess ions from the weak acid or base.
