Question

The strength of a base depends upon the number of ___________ produced.

• A. $C{O}_2$ molecules
• B. $O{H}^{-}$ ions
• C. $H_{2}O$ molecules
• D. $H^{+}$ ions

Answer 1

The correct option is B $O{H}^{-}$ ions

Strength of a base depends upon the number of $O{H}^{-}$ ions produced in the aqueous solution.A strong base ionizes completely in solutions. This means it gives off the greatest number of hydroxide ions when placed in a solution. Whereas, a weak base partially dissociates into its ions in an aqueous solution.
