Respuesta :
A substance that produces hydroxide ions when placed in water is a base. When a base is dissolved in water, the molecule will form into ions and bases produce OH- ions. Meanwhile, acids produce H+ in water.
Answer: A substance that produces hydroxide ions when placed in water is base.
Explanation:
Bases are the substance:
- Which gives negatively charged hydroxide([tex]OH^-[/tex]) ions in aqueous solution.
- Which have pH value ranging from 7 to 14.
- [tex]BOH(aq)\rightarrow B^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)[/tex]
Where as acid gives positively charged hydronium ion([tex]H^+[/tex]) in aqueous solution.
