The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "A solution of KOH in water is called-", we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Compound - The compound in question is KOH, which is potassium hydroxide. ### Step 2: Understand the Nature of KOH - KOH is a strong base and is soluble in water. When dissolved, it dissociates into potassium ions (K⁺) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻). ### Step 3: Recognize the Common Names - Solutions of strong bases like KOH have specific common names. The solution of KOH in water is commonly referred to as "potash lye." ### Step 4: Evaluate the Options - If options are provided (A, B, C, D), we need to check which one corresponds to "potash lye." - Option A: Potash lye (correct) - Option B: Soda lye (this refers to NaOH) - Option C: Salt cake (this refers to Na2SO4) - Option D: Other incorrect options ### Step 5: Conclusion - Based on the evaluation, we conclude that the correct answer is "potash lye." ### Final Answer - A solution of KOH in water is called **potash lye**. ---
