Bases
A base is a substance that dissociates into more hydroxide ions (-OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases are also good proton acceptors. Bases, therefore, reduce the number of H+ and increase OH- hence raising the pH of the solution.
B(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ BH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
Explanation:
Other properties of bases is that they are bitter to the taste and they feel slippery when touched. Strong bases are nonthlese very corrosive like acids. Bases turn red litmus paper blue. Most alkali hydroxides such as NaOH are bases.

Dang that’s crazy.. Goodluck ..
First, we have to see how K2O behaves when it is dissolved in water:
K2O + H20 = 2 KOH
According to reaction K2O has base properties, so it forms a hydroxide in water.
For the reaction next relation follows:
c(KOH) : c(K2O) = 1 : 2
So,
c(KOH)= 2 x c(K2O)= 2 x 0.005 = 0.01 M = c(OH⁻)
Now we can calculate pH:
pOH= -log c(OH⁻) = -log 0.01 = 2
pH= 14-2 = 12
