According to your solubility rules, hydroxides of Ca, Sr, and Ba are only slightly soluble in water. How come they are still considered strong bases? O a. Because most of the solid that dissolves is in aqueous M(OH)2(aq) form O b. Because the small amount of solid M(OH)2(s) the dissolves is fully ionized O c. Because they quickly react with the hydronium ions present in the solution O d. Because they can form soluble complexes with hydroxides, i.e. [M(OH)4]–2(aq)

Question
According to your solubility rules, hydroxides of Ca, Sr, and Ba are only
slightly soluble in water. How come they are still considered strong bases?
a. Because most of the solid that dissolves is in aqueous M(OH)2(aq) form
O b. Because the small amount of solid M(OH)2(s) the dissolves is fully ionized
Because they quickly react with the hydronium ions present in the solution
O d. Because they can form soluble complexes with hydroxides, i.e. [M(OH)4]-2(aq)
