Answer:
Polyhydroxyl alcohols
Explanation:
Whenever we have several C-OH bonds, we have a polyhydroxyl alcohol. For example, if we have just one alcohol group, that is, an R-OH group, then the naming is simple, say, we have EtOH, it's ethanol.
The problem becomes more complicated when we have several hydroxyl groups present in the alcohol. Let's say we have an ethane molecule and we replace the hydrogen atoms of carbon 1 and 2 with hydroxyl groups. In that case, we have 1,2-ethanediol. Similarly, we can have triols etc.
That said, we have poly (several) hydroxyl groups and we can generalize this to having polyhydroxyl alcohols.
So what do you want me to do
Explanation
I remember coming across this question and the options were:
KOH, HCN, NH₃, HI, Sr(OH)₂
Now, a substance with a low pH is one that dissociates completely in water to release hydrogen ions, while basic substances dissociate completely to release hydroxide ions. Therefore, in the order of increasing pH:
HI, HCN, NH₃, Sr(OH)₂, KOH
