Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

An acid also produces negative ions, and a base also produces positive ions. For example, the acid hydrogen chloride (HCl), when dissolved in water, produces negative chloride ions (Cl - ) as well as hydrogen ions. The base sodium hydroxide (NaOH) produces positive sodium ions (Na + ) in addition to hydroxide ions. These other ions also combine when the acid and base react. They form sodium chloride (NaCl). This is represented by the equation:.


Q: When dissolved in water, the base sodium hydroxide (naoh) produces sodium ions with what charge?

 Choices:

- constant

- similar

- negative

- positive

A:
positive
