Which of these is a bases? A. Vinegar B. HCI C. NaOH D. HNO3
The corresponding compound that is classified as a base, would be C. NaOH. The rest are all acids as they contain a hydrogen atom that can dissociate into an aqueous solution, water specifically.
Answer: The correct option is (C).
Explanation:
Bases are the compounds which give hydroxide ions in their aqueous solution.
\(BOH\rightarrowB^++OH^-\)
NaOH is a base and gives hydroxide ions(\(OH^-\)) in its aqueous solution.
\(NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-\)
Whereas other enlisted option are acids and acids in their aqueous solution give hydronium ions that is \(H^+\).
So, the correct option is (C).
