Is an ammonia water an acid or a base?
Ammonia water is a base chemically, if it reacts with an acidic substance it will produce a salt that is dissolved in the water..
When electrolytes are dissolved in water do they produce ions?
Yes. Electrolytes dissolved in water produce ions.
Compounds that release ions when they dissolve in water are called?
Substances that form ions when dissolved in water are electrolytes.
Do basic compounds produce OH- ions when dissolved in water?
Arrhenius bases produce OH- ions by definition when dissolved in water. A Bronsted - Lowry base can produce OH- ions, but only has to produce a proton accepting group by definition. A Lewis base is defined as an electron donating group, which hydroxide ion is. So, basic compounds do produce OH- ions when dissolved in water, but not in all cases.
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 an ammonia water an acid or a base?

Yes. Electrolytes dissolved in water produce ions.

What is the pH of strontium?
Strontium does not have a pH as it is not an acid or base in itself. However, it will react with water to produce strontium hydroxide, which is a base and will produce a pH greater than 7. pH is not a measure of how strong an acid or base is, it is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is. It depends on both how strong a dissolved acid or base is and how much is dissolved in a given volume of water.

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.
When a strong base is dissolved in water which type of ions is present in high concentration?
When a strong base is dissolved in water , OH ion concentration will be high.
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.
Is limestone a base?
Yes, limestone or calcium carbonate is a base when it is dissolved in water. Water itself can act as either an acid or a base.
What is the substance that produces hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water is a?
If a substance produces hydroxyl ions (OH-) when dissolved in water, it is referred to as a BASE.
What amount of acid or base dissolved in water called?
the concentration
Except for beryllium the elments in the first two groups of the periodic table produce acidic solutions when dissolved in water?
Excepting beryllium, the others mentioned elements produce basic solutions when are dissolved in water.
