Is magnesium hydroxide stronger than barium hydroxide?

No, each soluble hydroxide (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, barium etc.) are as strong as all of the SAME kind of hydroxide anions (OH-).Only the solubility differences determine the concentration of OH- ions, but their 'strength' is ALL the SAME.Really hydroxide is the strongest base in water solution.Sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and barium hydroxides are actually (basic) SALTS of the same hydroxide anions! The cations are all neutral in water.
