Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1 and 2 are true statements. An acid is a substance that donates H+ ions (protons) when dissolved in water, while a base is a substance that donates OH- ions (hydroxide ions) when dissolved in water.

Statement 3 and 4 are incorrect. An acid that dissociates completely in aqueous solution is called a strong acid, not a weak acid. Similarly, a base that dissociates completely in aqueous solution is called a strong base, not a weak base.
