Question 16 • Chemistry

Which is a characteristic of a strong base?

Answer
A
It releases cap h raised to the plus power ions into a solution.
B
It turns pink phenolphthalein colorless.
C
It turns blue litmus paper red.
D
It removes cap h raised to the plus power ions from solution.

Explanation

A base reduces the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution, often by reacting with them. A strong base does this effectively because it dissociates nearly completely in water. Therefore, the correct choice is “It removes H⁺ ions from solution.”
