The hydroxide ion (OH-) is part of every base. It accepts protons (H+) in solution to produce water.

Yes, because every base has the hydroxide ion(OH), which contains an H.


Is a carbonate ion acid or alkali?

A carbonate ion is a weak base. It can act as a base by accepting a proton from water, forming bicarbonate ion and hydroxide ion in the process.


What is conjugate base of H2PO4 ion?

The conjugate base of the H2PO4 ion is the HPO4^2- ion. This is formed when H2PO4 loses a hydrogen ion (H+).

Can a base donate an H ION?

Generally, a base will accept an H+ ion rather than donate one. In some cases a substance that normally acts as a base can donate an H+ ion, but in that situation, it is said to be acting as an acid. A substance that can act as both an acid and a base is said to be amphoteric. As and example, the bicarbonat ion, HCO3+ is generally considered a base, as it accepts a hydrogen ion to form carbonic acid, H2CO3, however, n some cases it can donate its remaining H+ ion to a stronger base to form a carbonate ion CO32+. This can be seen in the reaction between sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide. NaHCO3 + NaOH --> Na2CO3 + H2O The bicarbonate ion, acts as an acid, donating a hydrogen ion to the hydroxide ion, forming a carbonate ion and a water molecule.
