Solution
| Dilute Base | Strong Base |
|---|---|
| A dilute base contains a small amount of base dissolved in a relatively large amount of water. | A strong base ionises almost completely in water. |
| It has a low concentration of base in the solution. | It produces a high concentration of OH− ions in aqueous solution. |
| Dilution refers to the concentration of the base and does not indicate its strength. | Strength refers to the degree of ionisation of the base and does not indicate its concentration. |
| A dilute solution may be prepared from either a strong or weak base. | Strong bases include NaOH and KOH. |
