Everything about Weak Base totally explained

In chemistry, a weak base is a chemical base that doesn't ionize fully in an aqueous solution. As Bronsted-Lowry bases are proton acceptors, a weak base may also be defined as a chemical base in which protonation is incomplete. This results in a relatively low pH level compared to strong bases. Bases range from a pH of greater than 7 (7 is neutral, like pure water) to 14 (though some bases are greater than 14). The pH level has the formula: » mbox imes 100\% = .0095\%
This means .0095% of the pyridine is in the protonated form of C5H6N+.

Examples

  • Alanine, C3H5O2NH2
  • Ammonia, NH3
  • Methylamine, CH3NH2
  • Pyridine, C5H5N Other weak bases are essentially any bases not on the list of strong bases.
