Expert Solution

Step 1

A base is any substance that is able to release hydroxide ions ( $O H^{-}$ ) in the solution or accept hydrogen ions ( $H^{+}$ ) from the solution or release electrons in the solution.. The behavior of a base is shown as-

$B + H_{2} O \to B H^{+} (a q) + O H^{-} (a q)$

The relative strength of a base is the extent to which it ionizes when dissolved in water. If the ionization reaction is essentially complete, the base is called strong; if relatively little ionization occurs, the base is weak.

Now, the strength of a base also depends upon the stability of the conjugate acid formed. A more stable conjugate acid means a stronger base and a less stable conjugate acid means a weaker base.
