What is the Arrhenius definition of an acid and a base? a. An acid ionizes in water to yield acid and a base and a negative anion; a base dissolves in water without ionizing. b. hydroxide ions (OH-) in aqueous solution. An acid ionizes to yield hydrogen ions (I) in agueous solution; a base ionizes to yield c. An acid donates hydrogen ions (H*); a base receives hydrogen ions.
