Answer:
C₅H₅N being the weakest base
Explanation:
A weak base (B) is defined as a chemical compound that, in reaction with water, produce a small quantity of BH⁺
The general reaction is:
B + H₂O ⇄ BH⁺ + OH⁻ Where Kb is defined as:
Kb = [BH⁺] [OH⁻] / [B]
That means the smallest Kb is the weakest base because is producing the smallest quantity of BH⁺.
In the problem, the smallest Kb is C₅H₅N being the weakest base.
