KOH stands for potassium hydroxide, which is a strong base commonly used as an alkali. It dissociates completely in water to release OH- ions.
A strong base fully dissociates into its constituent ions (K+ and OH-) when dissolved in water.
Alkali: An alkali refers to any substance that can neutralize acids by accepting H+ ions or donating OH- ions.
Dissociation Constant (Kw): Kw represents the equilibrium constant for the autoionization of water and helps determine pH levels in solutions.
