Is sodium hydroxide an acid or base hydroxide an acid or base?
It is a base NaOH because it contains an hyroxide group or OH.
A solution of a base differs from a solution of an acid in that the solution of a base contains what?
contains hydroxide ions.
What Is a substance that produces hydroxide ions in solution.?
A base does this. The hydroxide (OH-) ion appears in solution. An acid produces hydrogen (or hydronium) ions in solution, and not hydroxide ions.
Is sulfuric acid an acid or base?
By the very fact that it is named an 'acid', then it is an acid. In the formula for acids , the hydrogen (H) is always the first letter. H2SO4 Sulphuric Acid HCl Hydrochloric Acid HNO3 Nitric Acid H3PO4 Phosphoric Acid There are many more mineral acids Soluble bases use the term 'hydroxide'. In the formula for hydroxides , the hydrogen comes last as ( -OH). NaOH sodium Hydroxide Ca(OH)2 Calcium Hydroxide Al(OH)3 Aluminium Hydroxide KOH Potassium Hydroxide
What makes acid a acid and a base a base?
If the substance produces Hydrogen ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is an acid. If it produces Hydroxide ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is a base.
Is hydrogen hydroxide a acid or base?
Base
Is sodium hydroxide an acid or base hydroxide an acid or base?
It is a base NaOH because it contains an hyroxide group or OH.

contains hydroxide ions.
SO42- acid or base?
It contains the hydroxide ion, making it a base.

What is acid what is base?
An acid is a sour substance which has Hydrogen (H^+) ions in it. A base on the other hand is bitter and has Hydroxide (OH^-) ions in it.
Is Sr(OH)2 a salt acid or base?
It contains the hydroxide ion, making it a base.
Is HCL an acid base or is it neutral?
Acid. It contains hyrdonium ions more than hydroxide ions.
How do you tell acid from a base?
There are a number of ways to tell an acid from a base. By definition, any solution with a pH lower than 7 is an acid, and if the pH is higher than 7 it is a base (if it is precisely 7 it is neutral and probably pure water). pH measures the level of hydrogen ions in a solution, but not in the way you might expect; a lower pH number means a higher amount of hydrogen ions and a lower amount of hydroxide ions, whereas a higher pH means less hydrogen ions and more hydroxide ions. You will observe that acids have hydrogen in their molecular formula; hydrochloric acid is HCl, sulfuric acid is H2SO4, and so forth, there is always an H. Bases have hydroxide, which is OH, in their molecular formula, so sodium hydroxide is NaOH. I realize that this could be confusing because hydroxide also contains hydrogen, so if you only look at the hydrogen, both acids and bases have it. But in a base, the hydrogen is connected to an oxygen, in the form of a hydroxide radical.
Is KO2 an acid or base?
Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) is a base. Bases contain hydroxide (OH) while acids contain hydrogen (H).
