Question

What contains a solution that furnishes hydroxyl as the only negatively charged ion in the solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Some of the general properties of bases are as follows:-

They are bitter to taste, turn red litmus paper blue, release hydroxide ion in the solution medium.  

However, not all bases have hydroxide group for eg. NH3  

but alkalis are a group of water-soluble bases that have an alkali metal as a cationic part and a hydroxide ion as the anionic part.

Hence, alkalis when dissolved in water yields hydroxyl ions as the only negative charged ions. Example: NaOH
