Answer:

Explanation:

To balance the hydrogen atoms, we check the number of hydrogen on the left side, this is equal to the 10 hydrogen atoms we have in the alkanol.

Now, on the right hand side, we can see we only have two hydrogen atoms in the water molecule. Now, to make equal the number of hydrogen atoms on both sides, we simply multiply the number of hydrogen there by 5 to make it 10 too

What determines the strength of an arrhenius base? give one example each of an aqueous solution of a strong base and an aqueous

IceJOKER [234]

The strength of an Arrhenius base determines percentage of ionization of base and the number of OH⁻ ions formed.
Strong base completely ionize in water and gives a lot of hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example sodium hydroxide: NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
Weak base partially ionize in water and gives a few hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example ammonia: NH₃ + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
