Basic anhydrides are metal oxides (any metal ion bonded to the oxide ion) like MgO or Na2O. Metal oxides strip one of the hydrogens away from water, leaving an OH ion.

What is the anhydride of KOH?

Anhydride means to remove a water molecule H2O from the original compound. KOH has only 1 oxygen and 1 hydrogen atom. Therefore, 2 KOH formula units are required to complete the removal--> 2KOH has to subtract 2 H and 1 O from its formula and will finally give K2O hence, the anhydride of KOH is K2O

What is the anhydride of nitric acid?

Nitric acid does not form the anhydride but dinitrogen penta oxide is theoretical anhydride of nitric acid.2HNO3 = N2O5 + H2O==========No. From the Wikipedia article on nitrogen pentoxide:N2O5 was first reported by Deville in 1840, who prepared it by treating AgNO3 with Cl2.Therefore, nitrogen pentoxide is the anhydride of nitric acid.
