A substance that yields a cation plus the hydroxyl ion in water is a(n)_____.
Answer:
C.Base
Did you know that a base is a substance that yields a cation plus the hydroxyl in ion water. A hydroxyl ion is a negatively charged molecule made up of one oxygen bonded to one hydrogen.
Hence, a base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions. A base is also a compound that produces hydroxide ions(OH+) in solutions.
A base forms OH- ions in solution. It has a pH greater than 7.
Mind you all people that the number of hydroxide ions in solution is greater than the number of hydronium ion. Thats all
