Question
All of the following statements can be used to describe a base/basic solution EXCEPT:Group of answer choicesBases are commonly used as household cleaners.Bases produce OH- ions in water.Bases are electron pair acceptors.A basic solution has a pH value greater than 7.A strong base dissociates completely into ions when dissolved in water.
Solution
The statement that does not correctly describe a base/basic solution is: "Bases are electron pair acceptors." This statement is actually a description of Lewis acids, not bases. Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors, while Lewis bases are electron pair donors. All the other statements correctly describe properties or characteristics of bases or basic solutions.
