because alkoxide ion is an alkyl group attached with O(negative) where alkyl gp. is an electron releasing gp. which will enhance the electron density on oxygen due to which there will be intensification of negative charge on oxygen and this akoxide ion will become unstable and would want any proton to attack on it to deintensify its negative charge . as we know strong base are those which take away the protons very quickly and effectively therefore it is a strong base

Sodium hydroxide strong base?

yes, most substances ending in hydroxide are strong bases


Is dish detergent a strong or weak base?

Dish detergent typically contains weak bases such as ammonia or sodium hydroxide to help with grease removal. While these bases are not considered strong bases like sodium hydroxide, they are still effective at cleaning by saponifying fats and oils.


Is NaOCL a strong base?

NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite) is not a strong base but rather a weak base. It is a commonly used in bleach and has some basic properties, but it is not as strong as other common bases like sodium hydroxide.


Is OCH3- a base?

Yes, OCH3- is a base. It belongs to the class of strong bases known as alkoxides, which are derived from alkali metals and alcohols. OCH3- can readily accept protons to form methanol (CH3OH) in a typical acid-base reaction.


Is sodium carbonate a strong or weak base?

Among the weak bases it is a relatively strong base


What household materials are bases?

Things such as soap shampoo and laundry detergent are weakly alkaline. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and drain cleaners made with lye (sodium hydroxide) are strong bases.


Sodium hydroxide potassium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide all produce hydroxide ions in water and are therefore?

considered strong bases.


Are strong bases sparingly soluble?

Strong bases are typically highly soluble in water due to their ability to completely dissociate into ions. Substances like sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are examples of strong bases that readily dissolve in water to form hydroxide ions.


Are strong acids and bases bitter?

Strong acids and bases are not typically bitter. Strong acids such as hydrochloric acid and strong bases like sodium hydroxide are more known for their sour and caustic taste, respectively. Bitter tastes are commonly associated with some alkaline substances or basic compounds.


Is sodium chloride a strong or weak electrolyte?

Yes, because acetic acid is a weak acid (therefore it is a weak electrolyte), but NaCl is a salt that ionizes completely. In general salts and strong acids and bases are strong electrolyte, while weak acids and weak bases are weak electrolytes.
