In its aqueous solution, 32% of a substance dissociates to release hydroxide ions. Which of the following is true for the substance? It is a weak acid. It is a weak base. It is a strong acid. It is a strong base.

The solution is a weak base. a weak base is that which dissociates partially in aqueous solution to give hydroxide ions as the only negatively charged ions. In the provided information, only 32 %of the substance dissociates thus it is a partial dissociation. Most of the energy is used to break bonds thus the remaining energy is not enough to cause complete dissociation.
