Question

Rahul and Ram had an argument. Rahul said that sodium hydroxide is a stronger base than ammonium hydroxide whereas Ram claimed just opposite to that. Who do you think is correct?

• A. Rahul
• B. Ram
• C. Both of them
• D. None of them

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rahul

Strong bases are characterized by the fact that they dissociate completely in aqueous solution. In this case, sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is classified as a strong base because it dissociates completely in aqueous solution to form sodium cations ($N{a}^{+}$), and hydroxide anions, ($O{H}^{-}$)
