KOH is what we call a strong base. It's strong because it has a very basic pH, meaning that the pH is way above 7 (around 14)
In addition:
KOH is a strong base because in water it dissociates completely into K+ and OH- ions, as opposed to weaker bases (such as Al(OH)3 which will dissociate only partially, producing many fewer OH- ions per mole of base.

How can neutralized potassium hydroxide?
Potassium hydroxide is a strong alkali. Therefore it can be neutralized by using a strong acid such as nitric acid or sulfuric acid.
Does potassium hydroxide dissolve in water?
Yes. potassium hydroxide dissolves in water.
Which chemical is a strong acid Sodium hydroxide sulfuric acid calcium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide?
sulphuric acid
What is the state of potassium hydroxide?
Potassium hydroxide is a strong alkali and is highly soluble in water. It reacts with acids to form potassium salts. It is often used in experiments to absorb carbon dioxide present in the system.
What happens when KOH and HCl are mixed?
KOH (potassium hydroxide) is a strong base. HCL (Hydrochloric acid) is a strong acid.Both species almost completely dissociate in H2O solution.See the Related Questions for more information.

What is a strong base commonly known as lye?
Potassium hydroxide.
Is KOH a weak electroylte?
Potassium hydroxide is a strong electrolyte.
Which of the bases of sodium hydroxide calcium hydroxide potassium hydroxide magnesium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide are alkalies?
Both KOH and NaOH are strong bases. Calcium hydroxide is not nearly so strong and NH4OH is a fairly weak base.
What is the name of the chemical formula KOH?
KOH is potassium hydroxide, its common name is caustic potash or potash lye.
What strong acid and strong base produce potassium chloride?
strong acid Hydrogen Chloride HCl strong base Potassium Hydroxide KOH HCl + KOH -> KCl + H2O
What alkali could be added to a strong acid to neutralise it?
To neutralise a strong acid, you would need a strong alkali (or lots of a weak alkali, but that would be impractical). Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide would all work.
What is potassium hydroxide to a chemist?
It's called potash, and it's a strong alkali.
