Question

The generic equation for a weak base in water is:

?+?2?⟷??++??−B+H2O⟷BH++OH−

A 0.0500 M solution of a base is 7.5% ionized.  Calculate the base ionization constant Kb

Input the numerical answer.  Remember significant figures. Do NOT round until the final answer. 

There are two fields in which to input the number.  The exponent will go after the 10^

Kb =  x  10^
