According to the Arrhenius concept, if NaOH were dissolved in water, it would act as 
A) a base

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept:

Acid are defined as those substance which gives hydrogen ions in their aqueous solution when dissolved in water.

\(HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq)+A^-(aq)\)

Base are defined as those substance which gives hydroxide ions in their aqueous solution when dissolved in water.

\(BOH(aq)\rightarrow B^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)\)

So, when NaOH  were dissolved in water, it would act as a base as it will give hydroxide ion in its aqueous solution.

\(NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)\)
