Q. How is the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH–) affected when excess base is dissolved in a solution of sodium hydroxide?

When you add more base to a sodium hydroxide solution, the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH–) increases. This makes the solution more basic because there are more OH– ions available to react with H+ ions in water.
