Iron hydroxide is a base. It is a compound that can accept protons (H+) from an acid to form water and a salt.
Iron hydroxide is not considered a salt. It is an inorganic compound that is formed when iron reacts with water or a base. Salts are compounds formed from the reaction of an acid and a base, where the H+ ion of the acid is replaced by a metal cation.
To make iron sulfate, mix iron oxide with sulfuric acid. For iron hydroxide, mix iron sulfate with a strong base like sodium hydroxide to precipitate out the iron hydroxide. Iron oxide can be made by heating iron metal in the presence of oxygen.
Sodium hydroxide is a base.
Ammonia is a weak base, not an acid. Hydroxide (OH-) is a stronger base than ammonia.
No, hydroxide is a base, not an acid. It has a high pH level and can accept protons to neutralize acids.
