Solution
- Bases are substances to release hydroxide ions (OH- ions) when dissolved in water.
- Bases are bitter-tasting substances that can turn red litmus paper blue.
- They are found to have a soapy texture when touched.
- In their aqueous solutions, bases act as good conductors of electricity.
- The pH values corresponding to bases are always greater than 7.
Yes, H+ ions can be found in all basic solutions. They are basic since hydrogen ions (H+) have a much lower concentration than hydroxide ions.
