Question

Write equations showing how each weak base ionizes water to
form OH-. Also write the corresponding expression for Kb.
a. CO32-

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone, we're asked to show how the weak base Oxley ion lionizes in water to form hydroxide ion and were asked to write the base association constant KB 1st. Let's go ahead and write our reaction. So we have our Oxley ion and this is going to react with water. And when this reacts with water, water donates a proton and forms hydrogen oxalate. And we also form our hydroxide ions, writing r k b expression. We know that this is going to be our products over our reactant and we disregard our water since it is a liquid. So I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
