Question

"sodium hydroxide is a strong base because it absorbs more" ____________ ions than weak bases.

Answer 1

Hydrogen ions

Step-by-step explanation:

Neutralization reaction is actually a reaction between hydroxide ions and hydrogen ions to form water.

H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) ----------> H2O(l)

A strong base can absorb more hydrogen ions than a weak base to form more water molecules as shown above.

That is the difference between a weak base and a strong base.

Answer 2

The answer is: absorbs more H (protons) ions.

- The Sodium hydroxide NaOH ionizes completely when dissolved in water.
- For every mole of sodium hydroxide that you dissolve you get 1 mole of hydroxide anions.
