Which of the Following Statements is True for a Strong

Question

Which of the following statements is true for a strong base?
A)It has a low pᵏ.
B)It has a high pᵏ.
C)It easily donates [H⁺].
D)It dissociates slowly.

Accepted Answer

A strong base is a substance that dissociates completely in water and has a high affinity for accepting a proton (H⁺). This means that it has a high pᵏ, which is a measure of its ability to accept protons. Low pᵏ values correspond to acids which easily donate H⁺, not bases. Additionally, a strong base dissociates quickly, not slowly as option D suggests.
