In its aqueous solution, 32% of a substance dissociates to release hydroxide ions. Which of the following is true for the substance? (3 points) It is a weak acid
It is a weak base.
It is a strong acid
It is a strong base.
*please only answer is you have the real answer bc I really need to bring up my grade*

It is a weak base.

Explanation:

A base is a substance that releases hydroxide ion (OH-) when in an aqueous solution, according to Svante Arrhenius definition of a base. However, a base is said to be either strong or weak depending on it is able to dissociate.

A weak base is a base that does not completely dissociate into hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution while a strong base dissociates completely. According to this question, 32% of a basic substance ( because it can dissociate into OH-) dissociates to release hydroxide ions. This means that since it does not totally dissociate i.e. 100%, it is a WEAK BASE.
