Yes, OH is acidic. That is why it usually has a (-) above it. The single +1 hydrogen doesn't make up for the -2 charge of Oxygen. Making the hydroxyl ion acidic.

What is the chemical symbol for acid and base?
Till date there is no symbol for acid and base but an acid molecule is ending with hydride ion(H negative) and a base is ending with hydroxide ion (OH negative).
How can an acid be neutralised?
we can neutralise it by putting base in it .any substance which form oh negative ions in their solution
Ionic compound produced by reacting acid with a base?
When you combine an acid and a base in water, the negative ion of the acid and the positive ion of the base separate in the water as an ionized salt. The positive ion (H) from the acid and the negative ion (OH) from the base become water (H2O).examples:sodium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid:NaOH + HCl --> NaCl (salt-sodium chloride) + H2O (water)calcium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid:Ca(OH)2 +2HCl --> Ca(OH)2 (salt- calcium chloride) + 2H2O (water)
Is ca(Oh)2 an acid or base?
Acid
Is MgO2 acid or base?
Niether an acid has H in at and a base hase OH in it

What is a acid what is a alkaline?
alkaline because in NaOH, Na is plus and OH is minus. when hydrogen is plus it is an acid when it is negative it is a base (alkaline)

Is AlOH3 an acid or a base?
Al(OH)3 is a base (Aluminum hyroxide)
Is rubbing alchol a base or an acid?
no oh it is acid
Is ca(oh)2 and acid or base?
Acid
Is ca(Oh)2 an acid or base?
Acid
Is MgO2 acid or base?
Niether an acid has H in at and a base hase OH in it
What is the name for conjugate base H2O?
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-
Does an acid or a base produce OH in water?
A base will produce hydroxide ions (OH-).
What happens in an acid based reaction according to Arrhenius definition?
An acid donates an H+, and a base donates an OH-.
