Page 2: Bases and Dissociation
This section covers bases and their dissociation properties, explaining how odczyn zasadowy (basic reaction) occurs in solutions.
Definition: Strong bases dissociate completely (100% dissociation), while weak bases only partially dissociate
Example: Common strong bases include NaOH, KOH, and Ca(OH)₂
Vocabulary:
- Zasady (Bases): Substances that accept H+ ions or release OH- ions
- Stopień dysocjacji (Degree of dissociation): The percentage of molecules that dissociate
Highlight: The dissociation constant (K) helps determine whether a substance is a strong or weak base, with strong bases having larger K values
Example: If a substance has 30% dissociation, 70% remains undissociated in the solution
