Question

One difference between strong bases and weak bases is 1. strong bases can neutralize more acid than weak bases. 2. strong bases release more hydroxide ions than weak bases. 3. only strong bases can be amphiprotic. 4. weak bases dissociate completely; strong bases do not. 5. strong bases dissociate completely; weak bases do not.

Answer 1

One difference between strong bases and weak bases is that a strong bases dissociate completely while weak bases do not. A strong base is a compound that completely ionizes into metal and hydroxide ions when in a solution, on the other hand weak bases only partially ionizes to metal and hydroxide ions in solution. An example of a weak base is ammonia and an example of a strong base is sodium hydroxide.
