1. No, because KOH is a strong base and HOH (H₂O) would be its solvent.
2. No, because HNO3 is a strong acid and KNO, is a salt of a strong acid (HNO3) and a strong
base (KOH).
3. Yes, because NHgis a weak base and NH CI is the salt of a weak base NH, and a strong acid
HCI.
4. No, because K₂CO, is a weak base but NaHCO, is not its conjugate base.
5. No. because K₂CO3 is a weak base and Na CO₂ is the salt of a strong base and a weak acid
