Questions in the student notes are designed to enable all students to complete the activity.
The pop-up answers are provided for the students to view when they have considered their
responses. Worksheet questions include questions that require recall, understanding and
application of the new concepts learned.
• Activity 4 : pKb
Students are taught the definition of pKb.
1.1 No.
The degree of ionisation of a 0.01 mol dm−3 NH3 solution is higher. The degree of
ionisation of a weak base increases with dilution.
2. Degree of dissociation, α
2.1 [OH-] = cα
= 0.05 x 3.7 x 10-4
pOH = -lg[OH-]

pH = 14 – 4.8
= 9.2
