Question: is koh an acid or base?
Answer: KOH is a strong base, KOH → K+ + OH-, and therefore dissociates completely into negative (they hydroxide ion, OH-) and positive ions in water solution. pH 8.35 is a high pH (> 7), therefore this is a basic solution. 4. Calculate the pH of 735 liters of a solution containing 0.34 moles of nitric acid (HNO3).
