Is KOH(Potassium hydroxide) an Acid or Base?


Answer:

Yes,KOH is a base.

Explanation:

Today we will know about whether KOH(Potassium hydroxide) is an acid or base in just three steps.
Is KOH(Potassium hydroxide) an Acid or Base?



              Step-1:

KOH gives hydroxide ion into water ,H₂O.We know that an base gives hydroxide ion  in water.So KOH is an base.

KOH(aq.) ----> K+ (aq) + OH
(aq.)
             
           Step-2:

KOH reacts with an acid H₂SO₄ to produce salt and water.So KOH is an base.

H₂SO₄ (Acid) +KOH (Base) ----> K₂SO₄ (Salt)  + H₂O


H₂SO₄ =Acid
KOH =Base
K₂SO₄=sodium sulphate
H₂O =Water


              
             
           Step-3:

KOH turns red litmus paper into blue.We know that an base can do that.So,KOH is an base.
