What does aqueous solutins contain in most bases?

In aqueous solutions, most bases contain hydroxide ions (OH-) as the active ingredient. These hydroxide ions are responsible for the basic properties of the solution, such as their ability to accept protons (H+) from acids.


Is ZnSO4 acidic or basic?

It is a neutral salt but its aqueous solution is acidic in nature.


What gives an aqueous solution of an acid the properties of an acid?

An acid gives its properties to an aqueous solution by making free its (acidical) H+ ions (protons) and donating this to the solvent molecules: water, so H3O+ is formed.


Is Ag aqueous a bronsted-lowry base?

No, Ag^+ ions in an aqueous solution do not have the ability to donate a proton, which is a characteristic of Bronsted-Lowry bases. Ag^+ ions are considered as neutral species in solution, not exhibiting acidic or basic properties.

What are five general properties of aqueous bases?

Aqueous bases produce hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution. They can neutralize acids to form salt and water. Bases feel slippery or soapy to the touch. They can conduct electricity due to the presence of ions in solution. Bases typically have a bitter taste.
