Chemistry · Various concepts of acids and bases (Arrhenius, Bronsted Lowry and Lewis) and their ionization, acid-base equilibria (including multistage ionization) and ionization constants

Which one is the base: or ?

Which one is the base: \( C s O H \) or \( H B r \) ?

  • A. \( C s O H \)
  • B. НВт
  • C. Both \( A \) and \( B \)
  • D. None of the above

Step-by-step solution

CsOH (cesium hydroxide) is a strong base that dissociates completely in water to give OH⁻ ions. HBr (hydrobromic acid) is a strong acid, not a base. Therefore, only CsOH is the base.
