Question

A strong base releases more what than a weak base?

Answer 1

Strong bases give solution that are stoichiometric in hydroxide ion.....

Explanation:

And thus a strong base such as `NaOH` or `KOH` dissolves in solution to give stoichiometric quantities of `HO^-` and `M^+`, i.e.

`KOH(s) stackrel(H_2O)rarr K^(+) + HO^-`

...the ions are aquated in solution.......

On the other hand, a weak base does not give stoichiometric quantities of hydroxide......

`CO_3^(2-) +H_2O(l) rightleftharpoons ""^(-)HCO_3 + HO^-`

....the equilibrium lies to the left........
