Question

Which of the following is a general property of
bases?
Ans.
Taste sour
Turn litmus red
Conduct electric current in
solution
Concentration of H30+ is greater
than concentration of OH-​

Answer 1

Answer:

Consentration of H3O+ is great than consentration of OH–

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is- Conduct an electric current in the solution.

Explanation:

• Bases are also electrolytes.
• Strong bases dissociate completely in water, giving a cation and an anion. For eg-

$NaOH + H_{2}O$ → $Na^{+} + OH^{-} +$ Δ

• The sodium ions and hydroxide ions ionize in water and are capable of conducting electricity. This is because the ions carry charges.
• Weak bases are poor conductors of electricity as they do not completely dissociate in water.

Conclusion:

Bases can conduct electric currents in the solution.
