Question

a compound that releases hydroxide ions in solution would most likely have which chemical property? it would react with lipids to form soap. it would react with metals to form a salt and water. it would react with metals to form hydrogen gas. it would react with carbonates to form carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

A compound that releases hydroxide ions in solution is a base. Bases react with lipids in a process called saponification to form soap. Bases react with acids (not metals) to form salt and water. Acids react with metals to form hydrogen gas and with carbonates to form carbon - dioxide.

Answer:

It would react with lipids to form soap.
