Hydroxide ions are anions with the chemical formula (OH)-.
No, pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions. pOH would measure hydroxide concentration.
A substance that forms hydroxide ions in a water solutoin is a base -- TRUE -- apex:)
Bronsted-Lowry's BASES are a substance that either contains hydroxide ions OH- or reacts with water to form hydroxide ions.
Strontium hydroxide is Sr(OH)2, with a molar mass of 121.6g/mol. If you have 5.18g of it, you have 5.18/121.6=0.0426mol of it. Multiply this by Avogadro's number to get 2.56x1022 representative particles of strontium hydroxide. Assuming you mean hydroxide ions instead of hydrogen ions, it's 2 hydroxide ions per formula unit, so double it to get 5.12x1022 hydroxide ions.
Hydroxide ions (OH-)
False
Yes, that is correct. Bases are substances that release hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water, leading to an increase in the concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution. Examples of bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
No, pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions. pOH would measure hydroxide concentration.

Technically, neither is entirely true. Bases will not decrease the pH, but neither do they always release hydroxide. For example, ammonia and the amines are basic, but this is because they remove hydronium, not because they add hydroxide. They release hydroxide ions in solution.
In an acidic solution, the relative concentration of hydronium ions will always be higher than hydroxide ions. This means that the relatively concentration of hydroxide ions will always be lower than hydronium ions in an acidic solution. The reason for this is that in a neutral solution, the concentration of both hydronium ions and hydroxides ions are equal (both are 10-7). By making the concentration of hydronium ions greater than the concentration of hydroxide ions, the solution becomes acidic.
When sodium hydroxide (NaOH) dissolves in water, it forms sodium ions (Na+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). The sodium ions are positively charged and the hydroxide ions are negatively charged.
No, actually they produce hydrosonium ions in an aqueous medium.
A substance that releases hydroxide ions into water is a base. Examples include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH). When these substances dissolve in water, they dissociate into ions, including hydroxide ions (OH-), which result in an alkaline solution.
Potassium hydroxide is an ionic lattice. It has two types of ions and namely they are potassium ions and hydroxyl ions.
Hydroxide Ions
hydroxide ions are formed by bases and hydronium ions are formed by acids.
