Answer 1

D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt

Step-by-step explanation:

D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt

Answer 2

"The ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt" demonstrates characteristic of a base.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

As the sodium hydroxide react with only with some metals. It is a very strong basic compound with a intense solubility in water and hygroscopic in nature. The ability of base is reflected from its potential to react with metals. In the given reaction:

`\mathrm{CuSO}_(4)(a q)+2 \mathrm{NaOH}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{OH})_(2)(s)+\mathrm{Na}_(2) \mathrm{SO}_(4)(a q)`

`\mathrm{Cu} \mathrm{SO}_(4)` is an acidic property showing salt which is added with sodium hydroxide and this reaction result into a pale blue precipitate of basic copper hydroxide & sodium sulphate which is neutral salt. The reaction is a double displacement and precipitation reaction.
