Hydroxides (OH-) indicate bases. For example, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) are all bases.
OH is a base.
base
Acid
Niether an acid has H in at and a base hase OH in it
The conjugate base for H2O is the hydroxide ion, OH-. When the hydroxide ion reacts with another water molecule, a hydrogen ion may be transferred, resulting in a water molecule and a hydroxide ion. Therefore, the conjugate base of water is OH-
A base will produce hydroxide ions (OH-).
Example [OH-]acid (!) conjugated with [O2-]baseor else, in water: [H2O]acid (!) conjugated with [OH-]base
Al(OH)3 is a base (Aluminum hyroxide)
no oh it is acid

Niether an acid has H in at and a base hase OH in it
The conjugate base for H2O is the hydroxide ion, OH-. When the hydroxide ion reacts with another water molecule, a hydrogen ion may be transferred, resulting in a water molecule and a hydroxide ion. Therefore, the conjugate base of water is OH-
A base will produce hydroxide ions (OH-).
An acid donates an H+, and a base donates an OH-.
Example [OH-]acid (!) conjugated with [O2-]baseor else, in water: [H2O]acid (!) conjugated with [OH-]base
base
LiOH is a strong base
(OH- is a base) (H+ is an acid) Therefore by adding water to HSO3, the OH- ion is produced therefore it is an Arrhenius base.
