← ScienceWhich consequence results when strong bases dissolve in water?
A)Hydroxide ions increase significantly.✓
B)Hydronium ions increase mildly.
C)Salt bridges immediately precipitate.
D)Covalent bond angles quickly decrease.
💡 Explanation
Dissolving strong bases results in an increased hydroxide ion concentration because the ionic compounds dissociate completely through autoionization. Therefore, hydroxide concentration increases drastically rather than modest hydronium increase due to alternative reactions and hydrogen bonding within water.
