Hello,
Ive been seeing it everywhere" NAOH is a strong base".
But in order for it to be strong, it has to meet the requirements which are:
-The Kb of the reaction 6qvtA.pngmust be high. This means that base strenght is not determined by the dissociation % of a substance.
Now I ve seen a lot of books say " NaOH is a strong base because it dissociates completely in water" But the dissociation of NaOH in water is not the same reaction as mentioned above right?So this is not a requirement for it to be a strong base!
Can anyone help me out please because I am stuck.
Thanks in advance!
