Strength of Acids/Bases
Can somebody explain to me the relationship between the strength of a base or acid and the Ka/Kb and PKa/PKb? I know that the smaller the PKb of a base, the stronger the base.

Re: Strength of Acids/Bases
The larger the kB, the more the compound will dissociate and form product since kB= [products]/ [reactants], therefore, the stronger the base. The larger the kA, the more the compound will dissociate and form product, therefore, the stronger the acid.
