Base
adding OH ions to the solution
metals and salts that precipitate it - e.g silver nitrate would remove OH ions from solution. Acids would also tend to remove OH ions from solution
Bases release OH- ions in water.
Hydroxide (OH-) ion

A type of Alcohol.
Bases release OH- ions in water.
It means that the solution is basic or the solution generally has plenty of OH- ions.
Hydroxide (OH-) ion
An increase of acid occurs when there are OH- ions in a solution. The hydroxide ion is a diatomic anion with chemical formula OH. It consists of an oxygen and a hydrogen atom held together by a covalent bond, and carrying a negative electrical charge.
Chemical Buffer Action regarding Acids and Bases: this means that when an aqueous solution is buffered, adding small amounts of H+ or OH- to the solution will not change the solution's pH.
hydrogen bonding between two OH functions
A solution with a pH greater than 7
Ca(OH)2 is also known as slaked lime.
