yes, almost total dissociation in water, the more OH negative hydroxide ions in solution, the more basic the solution is.

Which base is a weak electrolyte A. sodium hydroxide B. potassium hydroxide C. calcium hydroxide D. ammonia?
calcium hydroxide
Why is sodium hydroxide a base?
Because the conjugate acid of a strong base is a much weaker acid than water. Since the conjugate acid is so weak, its chemical action as an acid is negligible in solution. Strong bases have very weak conjugate acids. Weak bases have relatively strong conjugate acids. The same is true for the conjugate bases of strong acids, such as HCl. Cl- is a much weaker base than than water, so its effects are also negligible.
What is the difference between ammonium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide?
Ammonium hydroxide is a weak base with the formula NH4OH. It readily forms when ammonia is dissolved in water but it can only exist in aqueous solution. Trying to isolate it will cause it to revert back to ammonia and water. Potassium hydroxide is a strong base with the formula KOH. It will readily dissolve in water but can also exist in a pure state, which takes the form of a white solid under normal conditions.
Is sodium chlorate a weak base?
Sodium itself is neither an acid nor a base. However, it will react with water to form the strong base sodium hydroxide.
How do you make ammonia buffer pH 13?
Here is a link to the make up of buffers from 1 to 13 . Scroll down for the pH 13 range, http://delloyd.50megs.com/moreinfo/buffers2.html ph 13 buffer needs to use Sodium Hydroxide. You can only get to pH 10 with Ammonia. Ammonia is only a 'weak' base to get to pH 13 you need a 'strong ' base ,strong bases are the Hydroxide's of Sodium, Potassium or other alkaline metals. Here is a link that explains the concept of weak and strong base's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(chemistry)
Is ferric hydroxide weak or strong base?
Ferric hydroxide is insoluble in water so it is a weak base.
Which of the bases of sodium hydroxide calcium hydroxide potassium hydroxide magnesium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide are alkalies?
Both KOH and NaOH are strong bases. Calcium hydroxide is not nearly so strong and NH4OH is a fairly weak base.
Is KOH a weak electroylte?
Potassium hydroxide is a strong electrolyte.
Is rubidium hydroxide a strong or weak base?
Rubidium hydroxide is a strong base as are all alkali metal hydroxides.
Which base is a weak electrolyte A. sodium hydroxide B. potassium hydroxide C. calcium hydroxide D. ammonia?
calcium hydroxide
Acid and base that makes potassium iodide?
Acid = Hydroiodic acid Base = Potassium hydroxide (or any Potassium salt of weak acid)
Is Strontium Hydroxide weak or strong?
Sr(OH)2 is considered a strong base
What alkali could be added to a strong acid to neutralise it?
To neutralise a strong acid, you would need a strong alkali (or lots of a weak alkali, but that would be impractical). Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide would all work.
Is Na3PO4 a strong or weak electrolyte?
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base and electrolyte.
Why does Phenolphthalein turn pink in potassium hydroxide solution?
phenolphthalein is a weak acid, when reacting with strong alkali it turns pink
Is C2H4O2 weak or strong?
it is a non electrolyte C2H5OH is not a base, its an alcohol, ETHYL ALCOHOL so its just an alcohol
What property does strong and weak belong to?
The property of strong and weak, as far as chemistry of atoms is concerned, it pertains to the strong and weak bonds that exist between two or more atoms. A strong bond would indicate that a higher dissociation energy is needed to split the two; eg ionic bond. Whereas, a weak bond is one which can be easily broken; eg Hydrogen bond. Also, the properties of strong and weak are given to acids and bases in the same context. Acids which easily dissociate into ions are weak and which do not are designated as strong. Same holds true with bases. Examples; weak acid is carbonic acid, acetic acid. strong acid is sulphuric acid. Weak base is ammonia, methylamine. Strong base is sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide.
