Chemistry

Answer:

b. NH₃.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we need to defined the base;

Base is the substance that can produce OH⁻ ions in the solution.

So, NaOH, KOH, and NH₃ are bases because they can produce OH⁻ ions in the solution.

<em>But, K₂O is not a base, it can not produce </em>OH⁻ ions in the solution<em>.</em>

<em></em>

  • Now, we need to differentiate between strong and weak bases.

Strong bases are bases that can completely ionized in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

NaOH and KOH are strong bases because they can completely ionized in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

Weak bases are bases that can not completely ionized (ionized partially) in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

NH₃is a weak base hat can not completely ionized (ionized partially) in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

<em>So, the right choice is: NH₃.</em>

Explain how acid–base indicators can be used to determine the approximate pH of a substance.
mezya [45]
PH stands for potential hydrogen.
pH can be accurately tested using acid-based indicators since it is a part of the pH of something itself. (acid and bases) The indicators themselves work when the acidic properties of the indicator begins to dissolve and form ions which gives the color indicating the pH.
