Answer:

BRAINLIEST?

Explanation:

Ammonia is a typical weak base. Ammonia itself obviously doesn't contain hydroxide ions, but it reacts with water to produce ammonium ions and hydroxide ions. My findings said that ammonia is a weak base, potassium hydroxide is a strong base, vinegar is a weak acid and ethyl alcohol is a weak acid.

Vinegar and ethyl alcohol are eliminated as they are acids. The question is on bases.... Potassium hydroxide is a strong base. So we are left with ammonia, being a weak base.

Describe what occurs when a gas is collected by water displacement, including why a table of water vapor pressure values is need
Radda [10]

When a gas bubbles through water, small droplets of water are usually picked up along for the ride and are mixed in with the gas above the water inside the eudiometer tube. The water vapor takes up room, but isn't the important gas that you need to measure. The table of water vapor is needed to subtract the unwanted water vapor from the collection of gases.
