What tests could be safely used to distinguish a strong base from a weak base?

One way to distinguish a strong base from a weak base is by observing their properties such as the level of dissociation in water. Strong bases completely dissociate in water to form ions, resulting in a higher conductivity compared to weak bases. Another way is to measure the pH of the solution - strong bases will have a significantly higher pH (above 10) compared to weak bases which will have a pH closer to 7.


What causes properties of bases?

The properties of bases are primarily caused by their ability to accept protons (H+) from acids, forming water. Bases dissociate in water to release hydroxide ions (OH-) that can react with acids. This ability to neutralize acids is what gives bases their characteristic properties of tasting bitter, feeling slippery, and turning litmus paper blue.


Compare the properties of acids with the properties of bases?

Acids are used in many fields of industry and in homes.The sulfuric acid is used to make many products,paper,paints,etc. Like acids,bases have many uses.Sodium hydroxide is a base used to make soap and paper.


What are 3 properties of bases?

Bases have a bitter taste. Bases feel slippery to the touch. Bases turn red litmus paper blue.


Identify what ions are produced by acids in water and bases in water. Give two properties each of acids and bases?

Acids in water produce H+ ions. Bases in water produce OH- ions. Two properties of acids are they taste sour and turn blue litmus paper red. Two properties of bases are they taste bitter and feel slippery.
