Some bases, such as sodium and potassium hydroxides, contain hydroxide ions even in solid form. Others, such as ammonia, produce hydroxide in solution but do not contain any such ions when in pure form.

A base produces what in a solution?
A base in solution will produce hydroxide or OH- ions.
Compound that produce hydroxide ions in solution?
A base will form hydroxide ions in a solution.
What ion produce in base solution?
All acids contain a hydrogen ion, H+. All bases contain a hydroxide ion, OH-
What does a base produce when dissolved in water?
When bases dissolve in water, they usually form alkaline solution. An alkaline solution has a pH that is more than seven.
What does hydroxide ions form?
If a substance can produce hydroxide ions in solution, then that substance can be considered as a base.
Compound that produes hydroxide ions in solution?
Any base (pH greater than 7) will produce hydroxide ions.
Would the pH of a sodium hydroxide solution be above or below 7?
NaOH is a base so it will produce a pH above 7.
What are Arrhenius' definitions for acid and base?
Acids are substances which produce hydrogen ionsin solution.Bases are substances which produce hydroxide ionsin solution.
What type of ion dose a base produce?
If you dissolve a base in water, it creates a basic solution, therefore it creates hydroxide or OH-.
Why aqueous soln of ammonia acts as a weak base?
Because ammonia gas (NH3) reacts with water (H2O) to produce the aqueous solution ammonium hydroxide. This reaction produces hydroxide ions in the solution, thus making it an Arrhenius base.
Is NH3OH an acid or base?
Ammonia is a base. When ammonia is dissolved in water it produces an alkaline solution which can be neutralised by acids to produce ammonium salts. So it is a base.
A solution of a base differs from a solution of an acid in that the solution of a base contains what?
contains hydroxide ions.
