Everything about Weak base
Base that does not associate completely with hydrogen ions
A weak base is a base that does not accept all the available H+ ions, and forms an equilibrium between the base and its conjugate acid. Upon dissolution in water, a weak base does not dissociate completely, so that the resulting aqueous solution contains only a small proportion of hydroxide ions and the concerned basic radical, and a large proportion of undissociated molecules of the base.
