yes, almost total dissociation in water, the more OH negative hydroxide ions in solution, the more basic the solution is.

What is the difference between ammonium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide?

Ammonium hydroxide is a weak base with the formula NH4OH. It readily forms when ammonia is dissolved in water but it can only exist in aqueous solution. Trying to isolate it will cause it to revert back to ammonia and water. Potassium hydroxide is a strong base with the formula KOH. It will readily dissolve in water but can also exist in a pure state, which takes the form of a white solid under normal conditions.


Which base is a weak electrolyte A. sodium hydroxide B. potassium hydroxide C. calcium hydroxide D. ammonia?

D. Ammonia is a weak electrolyte because it only partially ionizes in water to form ammonium ions and hydroxide ions, resulting in a low concentration of ions in solution compared to strong electrolytes like sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and calcium hydroxide.


A solution of ammonium sulfate is added to a potassium hydroxide solution?

When ammonium sulfate is added to a potassium hydroxide solution, a double displacement reaction occurs. Ammonium hydroxide and potassium sulfate are formed as products. Ammonium hydroxide is a weak base while potassium hydroxide is a strong base.


Why is sodium hydroxide a base?

Because the conjugate acid of a strong base is a much weaker acid than water. Since the conjugate acid is so weak, its chemical action as an acid is negligible in solution. Strong bases have very weak conjugate acids. Weak bases have relatively strong conjugate acids. The same is true for the conjugate bases of strong acids, such as HCl. Cl- is a much weaker base than than water, so its effects are also negligible.


Is sodium chlorate a weak base?

Sodium itself is neither an acid nor a base. However, it will react with water to form the strong base sodium hydroxide.

What acid and base forms potassium acetate?

Acid; Ethanoic (Acetic) Acid Alkali(Base) ; Potassium hydroxide.


Is potassium acetate a weak acid?

No, potassium acetate is a salt formed by the reaction of a strong base (potassium hydroxide) with a weak acid (acetic acid). Potassium acetate is neutral and does not act as an acid in aqueous solutions.


What is the strong base and a weak base?

a strong base produces more ions in solution than a weak base-apex


Is potassium ethanoate a base?

Potassium ethanoate is not a base. It is a salt formed by the reaction between potassium hydroxide (a strong base) and acetic acid (a weak acid). Potassium ethanoate is actually a weak electrolyte that dissociates in water to produce potassium ions and ethanoate ions.


Is KOH a strong or a weak base?

Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a strong base. It dissociates completely into ions in water, making it a strong electrolyte and a good conductor of electricity.


Is KOH a weak electroylte?

Potassium hydroxide is a strong electrolyte.


Which of the bases of sodium hydroxide calcium hydroxide potassium hydroxide magnesium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide are alkalies?

Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and calcium hydroxide are alkaline bases. Magnesium hydroxide can also be considered an alkali due to its basic properties. Ammonium hydroxide is a weak base and is not classified as an alkali in the same sense as the others.


Is calcium hydroxide considered a strong or weak base?

Calcium hydroxide is considered a strong base.


Is copper hydroxide considered a strong base?

Copper hydroxide is not considered a strong base. It is classified as a weak base.


Is ferric hydroxide weak or strong base?

Ferric hydroxide is insoluble in water so it is a weak base.


Is Li2O a strong base?

Li2O is considered a weak base because it dissolves in water to form the weak base lithium hydroxide. It is not as strong as hydroxides of group 1A metals like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.


Is MgO a strong base?

Yes. It is. This material has been used widely in catalysis area because of its strong basicity.
