A base provides either hydroxide ions (OH–) or other negatively charged ions that combine with hydrogen ions, reducing their concentration in the solution and thereby raising the pH. In cases where the base releases hydroxide ions, these ions bind to free hydrogen ions, generating new water molecules.
About 255.3 grams is the answer I believe. I just had a school work packet and had that question on it, and that is the answer that I had put on it I believe.
