:OH− It has a charge of −1. Hydroxide is one of the simplest of the polyatomic ions. A group of Bases containing hydroxide are called hydroxide bases. Hydroxide bases will dissociate into a cation and one or more hydroxide ions in water, making the solution basic. This makes hydroxides Alkali s, which may undergo Neutralisation Reactions with Acids . In general Acid-alkali Reactions can be simplified to :OH−(aq) + H+(aq) → H2O by omitting Spectator Ions . Hydroxides and hydroxide ions are relatively common. Many useful chemicals and chemical processes involve hydroxides or hydroxide ions, such as Sodium Hydroxide (lye) is used in industry as a strong Base , Potassium Hydroxide is used in agriculture. Iron Hydroxide minerals such as Goethite and Limonite have been used as low grade ''brown'' iron Ore The Aluminium ore rock, Bauxite , is composed largely of aluminium hydroxides. Arrhenius Base refers to a substance that produces hydroxide ions when dissolved in Aqueous Solution . This means hydroxide ions are also heavily involved in the acid-base area as well as the special double displacement reaction called Neutralization . SEE ALSO |
