Explanation:
Ammonium hydroxide is a weak base and not a strong base.
What is a base?
A base is any substance that interacts with water to produce or yield excess hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution.
A strong base is one that ionizes completely in solution. Most strong bases are hydroxides of alkali and alkaline earth metals.
A weak base is one that partially or slightly ionizes in an aqueous solution.
Such is ammonium hydroxide;
NH₃ + H₂O ⇄ NH₄⁺ + OH⁻
In the ionization of a weak base, the process results in an equilibrium reaction.
