<span>Answer: Potassium hydroxide, KOH, is considered a BASE in an acid-base reaction because it ACCEPTS a hydrogen ion from the other reactant.
According to </span><span>Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, Base is a specie which accepts proton (H</span>⁺) while, Acid is a specie which donate proton.
Bases may contain a negative charge or lone pair of electrons, while, Acids contain positive charge or a neutral atom with incomplete octet.
In given statement KOH is acting as a base because it contains a negatively charged hydroxyl group which can accept proton from a acid, i.e.
KOH → K⁺ + OH⁻
Reaction of OH⁻ with any acid,
K⁺ + OH⁻ + HCl → H₂O + KCl
Answer:
Accuracy of a measured value refers to how close a measurement is to the correct value. The uncertainty in a measurement is an estimate of the amount by which the measurement result may differ from this value. Precision of measured values refers to how close the agreement is between repeated measurements.

Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the number of moles of sodium carbonate we have in a 25 g sample. To calculate this, we will
find the molar mass of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3):
⇒ 2 × Molar mass of sodium + Molar mass of carbon + 3×molar mass of oxygen
⇒ 2 × 23 + 12 + 3 × 16
⇒ 46 + 12 + 48
⇒ 106g/mol
Thus, the molar mass of Na2CO3 is 106g/mol.
Therefore, number of moles = 25 ÷ 106
=> 0.2358 mol
Now, we know that every mole of Na2CO3 have 0.2358 moles of Na+ ions. Hence, total moles of Na2CO3 is 0.4716 moles
Number of ions present = 6.022 × 1023 × 0.4716 mol = 2.84 × 1023ions
iron salts react with water to form hydrated iron ( III ) oxide which is basically rust
hope that helps :)
