Question

CH3OH is an alkali because is contain OH​

Answer 1

Explanation:

was asked to find the most basic solution from the following:

K2SO4

CH3OH

Na2CO3

(NH4)2CrO4

BaCl2

I know that I have to identify the solution that contains the conjugate base of a weak acid.

Knowing this, I immediately eliminated BaCl2 (HCl), K2SO4 (H2SO4), and (NH4)2CrO4 (H2CrO4 — which I've heard is a strong acid).

This left CH3OH and Na2CO3.

The correct answer is Na2CO3 since CO32− is the conjugate base of H2CO3.
