  4. It has a low conductivity

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of a strong base?
  • Step 1: Understand what a strong base is. A strong base is a substance that can accept protons (H+) and has a high pH level.
  • Step 2: Learn that strong bases completely dissolve in water. This means they break apart into their ions when mixed with water.
  • Step 3: Recognize that when a strong base dissolves, it produces a lot of hydroxide ions (OH-). This is what makes the solution basic.
  • Step 4: Know that a high concentration of hydroxide ions results in a high pH value, usually above 12.
  • Step 5: Understand that strong bases also conduct electricity well because the ions in the solution can move freely.
