Question

Which of the following is not true of bases? (2 points)

Bases are electrolytes.

Bases have a distinctly bitter taste.

Bases react with acids to produce a salt and water.

Bases have more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions.

Answer 1

answer is d:bases have more hydroxide ions than hydronium ions.one guy answered it wrong

Answer 2

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

An electrolyte is defined as a solution that contains ions and it is able to conduct electricity.

For example, NaCl dissolved in water is an electrolytic solution.

Whereas bases are the species that give hydroxide ions when dissolved in water. Bases are bitter in taste.

Also, when bases react with water then they give salt and water.

For example,
`HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_(2)O`

Thus, we can conclude that the statement bases are electrolytes is not true of bases.
