Question

Naoh is an arrhenius base because it dissociates in water to give the hydroxide (oh-) and sodium (na+) ions. An arrhenius acid is therefore any substance that ionizes when it dissolves in water to give the h+, or hydrogen, ion. ... acids provide the h+ion; bases provide the oh- ion; and these ions combine to form water.

Answer 1

Arrhenius argued that bases are neutral compounds that eitherdissociate or ionize in water to give OH- ions and a positive ion. NaOH is an Arrhenius base because it dissociates in water to give the hydroxide (OH-) and sodium (Na+)ions.
