Question
what is a base? a solution that has more hydrogen (h+) ions when water breaks down into ions a compound releasing the exact same amount of oh- and h+ into a solution a solution that has more hydroxide (oh-) ions when water breaks down into ions
In chemistry, a base is a substance that produces hydroxide (OH -) ions when dissolved in water. A solution with more hydroxide ions when water dissociates into ions is a base. A solution with more hydrogen (H+) ions is an acid, and a compound releasing equal amounts of OH - and H+ is neutral.
