Solution

Base:

  1. A base is a compound that when dissolved in water yields hydroxyl ions (HO-).
  2. Also according to Lewis's concept of bases, the atoms which donate lone pair of electrons to other atoms are bases.
  3. They are bitter to taste.

Basic strength:

  1. As the concentration of Hydroxyl ion increases pH value increases.
  2. The pH values associated with bases are often higher than 7.
  3. From 7to14 is a pH range of base or alkalies.
  4. As the value of pH increases more than 7 the basicity increases.

Hence, the basic strength increases with the increase in HO- ions.
