Explanation ok behaviour of bases in water
Answers
Answer:
Bases, on the other hand, mixed with water yield hydroxide ions (OH-). If a solution has a high concentration of H+ ions, then it is acidic. If a solution has a high concentration of OH- ions, then it is basic. In many acid-base reactions, the resulting product is water along and a salt.
Like acids, it has been observed that the aqueous solutions of all bases such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide Conduct electricity.
⚫Bases like sodium Hydroxide, Magnesium hydroxide, etc suggests that baeses also contains ions in solutions...
⚫When bases are dissolved in water , they give hydroxide ions, OH– in aqueous solution. For Example:- when sodium hydroxide is dissolved in water, it dissolves as : ---
NaOH(s) –––H2O––> Na+(aq) + OH–(aq)
