Write chemical equations to show how the following bases react with water to produce hydroxide ions: a. Methoxide ion (OCH₃-), a strong base.
b. Hypochlorite ion (C1O-), a weak base.

a)

OCH₃⁻ + H₂O →  CH₃OH (methanol) + OH⁻ (hydroxide)

here, the methoxide ion acted as a base, by bonding with the hydrogen atom released by water to form methanol and hydronium ion

b)

ClO⁻ + H₂O → HClO + OH⁻ (hydroxide)

The Hypochlorite ion bonded with the proton released by water, to form Hypochlorous acid and hydronium ion

1. a)c-14 has two more protons

2. d)they have different numbers of protons, neutrons, and valence electrons; they are all gases at room temperature.

3. c) iron and nickel.
