Answers
GPT-4o mini
Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is an inorganic compound composed of potassium ions (K⁺) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻).
### Positive Ion
- **Potassium Ion**: K⁺
### Negative Ion
- **Hydroxide Ion**: OH⁻
### Base Formula
- As a base, potassium hydroxide can be represented simply as KOH.
In aqueous solution, KOH dissociates completely into its constituent ions:
\[
\text{KOH} \rightarrow \text{K}^+ + \text{OH}^-
\]
KOH is indeed a strong base and is commonly used in various applications, including in the production of soaps, cleaning agents, and as a pH regulator.
