Question:

Which of the following is the \(K_b\) for the conjugate base of carbonic acid?

Show Hint

For acid-base equilibria, the conjugate base dissociation constant \(K_b\) is related to the equilibrium concentration of the conjugate base.

  • \( \dfrac{[H_2CO_3][OH^-]}{[HCO_3^-]} \)
  • \( \dfrac{[H_2CO_3]}{[HCO_3^-][OH^-]} \)
  • \( \dfrac{[HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3][OH^-]} \)
  • \( [HCO_3^-] \)
