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.
Compounds that react with acidic or basic solutions to produce certain colors?
Concentration
Why aqueous solution of oxide of calcium is basic?
because when it is dissolved in water calcium hydroxide is formed
What elements are acidic or basic?
No element is acidic or basic. Compounds are.
How do you prove metal oxide is basic?
when ash of magnesium is dissolved in water then magnesium hydroxide is formed. MgO + H2O---->Mg{oh}2 hence, the solution is basic in nature.The oxides of metals are basic in nature.Therefore,their aqueous solution turns red litmus blue.

Gas whose aqueous solution is basic?
Ammonia gas when dissolved in water produce Ammonium hydroxide so its solution is basic.
Why doesn't chlorine produce a basic solution when dissolved in water?
To make a basic solution, it has to contain available hydroxide ions. Chlorine doesn't, so it can't be basic.
Which substance will produce a solution with a basic pH when dissolved in water?
Most metal hydroxides and oxides e.g. K2O and KOH
Is soap a base for litmus paper?
Yes, dissolved soap is a basic solution.
What is a solution and what are the 2 basic parts of a solution?
solute is the substance being dissolved, solvent is the substance doing the dissolving. A solution is a mixture, not a compound. There is no exact formula for a solution, there can be a small amount dissolved (called a dilute solution) or a large amount dissolved (called a concentrated solution). Sugar in water is a solution, sugar is the solute, water is the solvent.

What salt would produce a basic solution?
sea salt
One of the two propertie is a property of magnesium. its oxide will form an acidic solution when dissolved in water or its oxide will form a a basic solution when dissolved in water. Does anyone know?
MgO + H2O -> Mg(OH)2 Basic. Magnesium hydroxide is the usual product here.
What elements are acidic or basic?
No element is acidic or basic. Compounds are.
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.
