Acompound that releases hydroxide ions in solution would most likely have which chemical property? a. it would react with lipids to form soap. b. it would react with metals to form a salt and water. c. it would react with metals to form hydrogen gas. d. it would react with carbonates to form carbon dioxide.

A. It would react with lipids to form soap

Explanation:

A compound that releases hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in solution is an Arrhenius Base examples include Sodium hydroxide.

Option A An Arrhenius Base would react with lipids to form soap like in the case of the Saponification of a Fat with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) to form soap.

Option B & C When an Arrhenius Base reacts with metals, they form salt and hydrogen gas (not water) like in the case of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) reacting with Zinc metal to form Sodium Zincate (Na₂ZnO₂) and hydrogen(H₂).

Option D When an Arrhenius Base will not react with carbonates, because most carbonates are bases as well.

As it can be seen from the analysis of the options because the compound in Question is an Arrhenius base and the most likely chemical property is the formation of Soap which is Option A.

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
