Week 10 Sapling Q10

[Nina Fukui 2J]

From what I tried figuring out, I got this as my answer but its saying I'm incorrect. I thought I got all the strong acids and strong bases but if not, can someone explain whats wrong?

[Sunny Wu 3A]

I think Ca(OH)2 would be a stronger base than KOH because when it dissociates it forms 2 OH- as opposed to KOH forming 1, so it would be at the top of the list.

[Kamille Kibria 2A]

Ca(OH)2 would be at the top bc when it dissociates there will be 2 OH- ions. KOH will only produce 1. because the concentration of OH- is higher for Ca(OH)2, it will create a more basic solution, so the pH will be higher

[Tae Pasawat 2A]

Yes! Two factors to keep in mind is the strength of the bond within the compound and whether it is monoprotic or polyprotic :)

[Juliana Rosales 1H]

After you pick out the strongest acids and bases, just mitch and match the other ones in between and you are bound to get the right answer.

Ca(OH)2 would be the stronger base because it would produce more OH- ions.
