A base generally releases a hydroxide ion (OH-) when dissolved in water.
There are exceptions, such as ammonia NH3, which acts as a base but does not produce OH- ions. There are three definitions of acids and bases (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis) and each one looks at acid/base characteristics differently. OH- donation is the Arrhenius definition.

This year course engages students in becoming skilled readers of prose written in a variety of periods, disciplines, and
rhetorical contexts and in becoming skilled writers who compose for a variety of purposes. More immediately, the course
prepares the students to perform satisfactorily on the A.P. Examination in Language and Composition given in the spring.
Both their writing and their reading should make students aware of the interactions among a writer’s purposes, audience
expectations, and subjects as well as the way generic conventions and the resources of language contribute to effectiveness
in writing. Students will learn and practice the expository, analytical, and argumentative writing that forms the basis of
academic and professional writing; they will learn to read complex texts with understanding and to write prose of
sufficient richness and complexity to communicate effectively with mature readers. Readings will be selected primarily,
but not exclusively, from American writers. Students who enroll in the class will take the AP examination.
This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.
The conversion of cyclopropane to propene occurs with a first-order rate constant of 2.42 × 10⁻² hr⁻¹. How long will it take for the concentration of cyclopropane to decrease from an initial concentration 0.080 mol/L to 0.053 mol/L?
Answer : The time taken will be, 17.0 hr
Explanation :
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time passed by the sample = ?
a = initial concentration of the reactant = 0.080 M
a - x = concentration left = 0.053 M
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Therefore, the time taken will be, 17.0 hr
