Question

what kind of solution would have a $k_b$ value that is much greater than 1?
a. a weakly acidic solution
b. a strongly acidic solution
c. a strongly basic solution
d. a weakly basic solution

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

$K_b$ is the base - dissociation constant. A large $K_b$ value (much greater than 1) indicates that the base dissociates almost completely in solution, which is characteristic of a strong base. So the solution would be strongly basic.

Answer:

C. A strongly basic solution
