compare NAOH and NH4OH find out which one is strong base
Answers
Explanation:
NAOH : Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na⁺ and hydroxide anions OH⁻
NA4OH : Ammonium hydroxide, also known as ammonia water, ammonia solution, ammoniacal liquor, ammonia liquor, aqua ammonia, aqueous ammonia, or ammonia, is a solution of ammonia in water. It can be denoted by the symbols NH₃
As a result, when dissolved in water, NaOH dissociates into ions completely leading to its strong basic character. ... [NaOH=Na+ + OH- ].On the other hand NH4OH partially disaccociates in water for which concentration of (OH-)ion in aqueous solution is less,making it a weak base.[NH4OH=NH4+ + OH-].
Explanation:
when we decide which have strong base or acid we firstly check the PH value of that acid or base .
So,
NAOH is the strong base then NH4OH because NAOH have PH value 13 but NH4OH have PH value is only 11.6 that's why NAOH is stronger base then NH4OH.
