Chapter 15, Problem 15.15QE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason behind the fact that positively charged bases are rare has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

In Bronsted–Lowry theory, base is defined as a substance that accepts a proton. In a solution, it dissociates to give OH ions. A solution can be water or made of any other compounds. In Arrhenius theory, base is defined as a substance that produces OH ions when dissolved in water. In this theory, the solvent is water only.

Weak base: The Brønsted-Lowry base that gains a proton is called weak base. The weak base does not ionize completely in a solution.

Conjugate acid: The substance that donates a proton in a chemical reaction of acid and base is called conjugate acid.
