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.

What does the dilute aqueous solution of a weak base contains?

A dilute aqueous solution of a weak base contains molecules of the weak base and some hydroxide ions generated from the base's reaction with water. The concentration of hydroxide ions is lower than a strong base due to incomplete ionization of the weak base in water.


Scientific term for weak solution?

Dilute


When can a solution of a weak base be more corrosive than a solution of a strong base?

A solution of a weak base can be more corrosive than a solution of a strong base when the weak base is concentrated at a higher pH compared to the strong base. The corrosiveness of a base is dependent on factors such as concentration, pH level, and reactivity with the material being corroded.


A 0.12M solution of an acid that ionizes only slightly in solution would be termed?

It would be named as a dilute solution of a weak acid.


Is a weak acid similar to a dilute acid?

A weak acid refers to the extent to which the acid dissociates in a solution, while a dilute acid refers to the concentration of the acid in a solution. Therefore, they are not the same but can be related in the sense that a weak acid may be present in a dilute solution.


Weak tea is an example of what kind of solution?

dilute solution


Is a dilute acidic solution only made from a weak acid?

No, a dilute acidic solution can be made from either a strong acid or a weak acid. The term "dilute" refers to the concentration of the acid in the solution, while the strength of the acid refers to its ability to ionize in water.


Is the meaning of weak acid as same of that of dilute acid?

No, the meaning of weak acid is not the same as dilute acid. A weak acid refers to an acid that only partially ionizes in solution, regardless of its concentration. On the other hand, a dilute acid refers to a solution that has a relatively low concentration of acid molecules compared to the solvent. A weak acid can be dilute or concentrated, depending on its concentration in solution.


Is a dilute solution weak?

It does not matter whether or not HCl is dilute because either way it's a strong acid. Strong and weak are based on its percentage of ionization whereas diluting affects the concentration of the ions. A dilute solution of HCl is not weak.


How weak is acid diffent from dilute acid?

They are pretty much the same. The only difference might be that the weak acid was always weak and the dilute acid used to be stronger and then got watered down, or diluted. But, essentially they can both have the same pH and be called either one.


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.


How would you describe a weak base?

The weak base is not complete dissociated in water solution.
