oxygen
A base in solution produces hydroxide ions (OH-) as the predominant ion.
The hydroxide ion (OH-) is the only negative ion present in an aqueous solution of an Arrhenius base.
This ion is the hydroxyl -OH.
A hydroxyl ion
A hydroxyl ion
The kind of ion is an H+-ion, also called a proton.
The ion CH3COO- (acetate ion) is mildly basic
Yes, you can create an alkaline solution without metallic ions by using a non-metallic base such as ammonia (NH3). Ammonia is a weak base that can increase the pH of a solution without introducing metallic ions.
HSO4- can act as both a base and an acid because it can accept a proton (H+) to form H2SO4 in an acidic solution (acting as a base) or donate a proton to form SO4^2- in a basic solution (acting as an acid). This dual behavior is due to the presence of a hydrogen ion that can be transferred depending on the conditions.
A base in solution will produce hydroxide or OH- ions.
This is a base.
A base solution releases OH- and the positive radical of the base.
