Answer: a. They produce ions when dissolved in water.

Explanation:

Acid : It is a substance that has ability of donating proton or hydrogen ion, H^+ when dissolved in water.

Acids are sour in taste.

The texture of an acid solution is sticky.

It changes the color of the litmus paper to red.

Base : It is a substance that has ability of donating hydroxide ion, OH^- when dissolved in water.

Base are bitter in taste.

The texture of an base solution is slippery.

It changes the color of the litmus paper to blue.

Thus both acids and bases produce ions when dissolved in water.

The hydroxide ions keep decreasing and the hydrogen ions increase, pH decreases.

<h3>What is hydroxide?</h3>

Hydroxide is a diatomic anion with synthetic recipe OH⁻. It comprises of an oxygen and hydrogen particle kept intact by a solitary covalent bond, and conveys a negative electric charge. It is a significant yet generally minor constituent of water. It capabilities as a base, a ligand, a nucleophile, and an impetus. Hydroxide is a diatomic anion with chemical formula OH −. It consists of an oxygen and hydrogen atom held together by a single covalent bond, and carries a negative electric charge. It is an important but usually minor constituent of water. Hydroxide ions can act as a catalyst in different types of reactions. Hydroxide ions can function as base, ligand, nucleophile or a catalyst.
