What is a substance that releases hydroxyl ions in a water?

A substance that releases hydroxyl ions in water is a base. Bases are substances which in water, becomes slippery, has a bitter taste, changes indicator color, forms salts with acids and promotes base catalysis. Alkaline earth materials is an example of a base.


A compound which can react with acids to form salt and in water solutions yields hydroxyl ions is called what?

A base


What is the substance that produces hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water is a?

The substance that produces hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water is a base. Bases are substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) in water, which can react with hydrogen ions (H+) to form water (H2O). Examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).


What is a substance that yields a hydrogen ion when placed in a water solution called?

This substance is an acid.


What is any substance which yields a hydrogen ion when placed in water solution is called?

An acidic substance.


How do you write the formula for the polyatomic ion in KOH.?

When KOH is placed in water, it ionizes to K+ and OH-, so the polyatomic ion is the OH- (hydroxyl anion).


What does OH mean in science?

There is no such chemical symbol. 'OH' does not exist as a substance. However, the symbol 'OH^-' does exist, it is the symbol for the hydroxide anion(ion). Further when 'OH^-' is shown in a substance , e.g. NaOH , the 'OH^- ,moiety still exists but is cancelled out by the 'Na^+' Two equal and opposite charges.


What substance yields no toxic compounds but only water and heat when it burns?

Hydrogen (H2) is an example of a substance that yields only water and heat when it burns. When hydrogen burns in the presence of oxygen, it combines to form water (H2O) as the only byproduct, making it a clean and efficient fuel source.


What kind of reaction is an acid plus a base?

An acid plus a base will yield a salt and water. In textbooks this is often written as: HA + BOH yields AB + HOH The above means an acid with its hydronium ion added to a base with its hydroxyl group will yield a salt composed of the acid and the base plus water (hydrogen plus hydroxyl is HOH or H2O).
