Answer 1

The correct statement is:

A solution of potassium hydroxide will always have more OH– ions than a solution of ammonia.

This is because potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a strong base and dissociates completely in solution, producing a high concentration of hydroxide ions (OH–). In contrast, ammonia (NH3) is a weak base and only partially ionizes in solution, resulting in a lower concentration of hydroxide ions. Therefore, a solution of potassium hydroxide will have a higher concentration of OH– ions compared to a solution of ammonia at the same concentration.
