Question

KOH and LiOH are examples of

bases

neutral compounds

acids

salts

Answer 1

it is an example of bases

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, Bases.

Explanation :

Acids : It is a substance that has ability of donating proton or hydrogen ion,
`H^+`.

Bases : It is a substance that has ability of donating hydroxide ion,
`OH^-`.

Salts : It is an ionic compound that contain positively charged ions and negatively charged ions. The salt is formed when an acid react with a base in equal proportions.

Neutral compound : It is a compound that is formed by the combination of strong acid and strong base or weak acid and weak base.

As per question, KOH and LiOH are the examples of bases because they have ability of donating hydroxide ion,
`OH^-`. KOH and LiOH are the strong base that are completely dissociate.

`KOH\rightarrow K^++OH^-`

`LiOH\rightarrow Li^++OH^-`

Hence, the correct option is, Bases.
