Question

Why is KOH a stronger base than CH3OH

Answer 1

KOH releases OH- ions more readily than CH3OH
the readily any compound releases OH- ions stronger the base it is

Answer 2

KOH realease OH- as soon it's in water, but CH3OH does not dissociates and hence it does not realease OH- ions and thus KOH is stronger base.... due to availability of OH- ions.

Answer 3

because KOH is an ionic compound
and CH3OH has a covalent bond between CH3 and OH
so KOH dissociates in water readily to give K+ and OH-
hence it is a stronger base.

Answer 4

KOH is stronger base than ch3oh because KOH ionises faster than CH3OH producing OH- ions quicker hence stronger base.also CH3OH is organic compound thus weak base as it cannot ionise quickly.

Answer 5

KOH a stronger base than CH3OH because when KOH accepts a proton it forms water and pottasium ion (K+ ion) which is very stable because it attains a stable state configuration,whereas when CH3OH accepts a proton it forms CH3OH2+ ion which is not as stable as pottasium ion.

Answer 6

KOH is a stronger base than CH₃OH   

This is because KOH is an ionic compound and it dissociates to give the hydroxyl ion. On the other hand the methyl alcohol is a covalent compound and doesnot dissociate easily to give the hydroxyl compound.
