Question

What is more basic KO2 or KOH?

I know that KO2 is also craeted this way;

KO2 + 2H2O ----> 2 KOH + H2O2 + O2

I think,as KOH is created by this reaction and KO2 being a raectant, the compounds created should have less strong,more stable characteristics when compared with the reactant: for example KOH is more stable than KO2 (a product should be note stable than a reactant)

Am I correct or what is more basic from these two and what is the reason?

Answer 1

Your reasoning appears valid to me.

Answer 2
