Which reaction shows strong base dissociation?
$\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}+\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CaCO}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2}$
$\mathrm{Al}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{AlH}^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}$
$\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{O}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}$
$\mathrm{HSO}_{4}{ }^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}$

Step 1: Identify the Definition of Strong Base Dissociation
A strong base dissociation reaction involves a strong base completely dissociating into its ions in water. Strong bases typically include hydroxides of alkali metals and some alkaline earth metals.
This reaction shows the ethoxide ion reacting with water to produce ethanol and hydroxide ions. This is a dissociation reaction involving a strong base (ethoxide ion).
