Question :-
Which solution has the greatest number of hydroxyl ions?
Answer :-
The solution that has the greatest number of hydroxyl ions is called a strong alkaline solution.
If you are given elements and you have to identify which has the greatest concentration of hydroxyl ions , then just find the element which has the highest pH value or the most basic element from the given choices.
Therefore you need to know certain names or examples of strong acids , weak acids , strong bases and weak bases .
Strong acids
Hydrochloric acid
Sulphuric acid
Weak acid
Acetic acid
Strong base
Sodium hydroxide
Potassium hydroxide
Weak base
Ammonium hydroxide
If you know all these , then you can identify that from the list the greatest number of hydroxyl ions are present in sodium hydroxide .
Hope it helps !
