NEETChemistryIonic Equilibrium
In the Arrhenius concept, what is the role of strong bases in an aqueous medium?
Options
- AThey act as proton donors.
- BThey act as proton acceptors.
- CThey partially dissociate into ions.
- DThey are almost completely dissociated into ions, producing hydroxyl ions.
Correct answer
D. They are almost completely dissociated into ions, producing hydroxyl ions.
Step-by-step solution
In the Arrhenius concept, strong bases are described as almost completely dissociated into ions in an aqueous medium, giving rise to hydroxyl ions (OH-).
