A)is present in low concentration in solution.
B)is present in high concentration in solution.
C)ionizes only slightly in solution.
D)ionizes completely in solution.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A weak base is a base that ionizes only slightly in solution, meaning it does not fully dissociate into ions. This is in contrast to a strong base, which ionizes completely in solution. Therefore, choices A and B are incorrect because they refer to the concentration of the base, which is not necessarily a defining characteristic of a weak base.
