Natalia began to draw a diagram to compare bases and acids.

Two overlapping circles with the word bases above the left circle and acids above the right circle. There is an X in the left circle in the portion, which is not part of the overlap.

Which label should be written in the area marked X?

conducts electric current
produces OH– ions
tastes sour
reacts with carbonates

"Produces OH– ions."

Explanation: the X is in the part that is only bases, so choose a base-only property. Producing OH– in solution is characteristic of bases. Conductivity is common to both; "tastes sour" and "reacts with carbonates" are acid properties.
