Question

A substance that releases hydrogen ions in water is a base. True or false?

Answer 1

No it is false. Because any substance is base what include OH. If it releases H ion, it should be acid.

Answer 2

Answer: FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

An acid is a substance which donates H⁺ (hydrogen) ions when are added to water or any other solution. The amount of H⁺ions liberates per acid molecule defines the acidity of the acid like weak or strong. The base is a substance which donates OH⁻ ions (hydroxide ions ) in the solution or water.
