    Potassium Hydroxide Basic Anhydride (K₂O): Definition & Reaction
    The basic anhydride of KOH (potassium hydroxide) is K₂O (potassium oxide).

    Here's why:

    * Basic Anhydride: A basic anhydride is an oxide that reacts with water to form a base.

    * Reaction: K₂O reacts with water to form KOH:

    K₂O + H₂O → 2KOH

    Therefore, K₂O is considered the basic anhydride of KOH.
