revisited because of the important role they play in physiological systems.
The most common Bronsted-Lowry base in aqueous solutions is hydroxide. Hydroxide can be added to
water in the form of a number of different salts like NaOH, KOH or LIOH. Additional bases will be
identified in the next section on the measurement of acidity. Some of these bases will be familiar since
they are the anionic conjugate bases of some of the weak acids considered in this section.
