Answer: The correct answer is Option 1, Option 2 and Option 3.

Explanation:

A base is defined as the substance which releases hydroxide ion when dissolved in water.

For the given options:

  • Option 1:  [tex]NH_3[/tex]

When ammonia is dissolved in water, it produces ammonium hydroxide which forms a basic solution.

[tex]NH_3+H_2O\rightarrow NH_4OH[/tex]

  • Option 2:  [tex]Na_2O[/tex]

When sodium oxide is dissolved in water, it produces ammonium hydroxide which forms a basic solution.

[tex]Na_2O+H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH[/tex]

  • Option 3:  [tex]LiOH[/tex]

When lithium hydroxide is dissolved in water, it produces aqueous lithium hydroxide which forms a basic solution.

[tex]LiOH+H_2O\rightarrow LiOH(aq.)[/tex]

  • Option 4:  [tex]P_4O_{10}[/tex]

When phosphorus pentoxide is dissolved in water, it produces phosphoric acid which forms an acidic solution.

[tex]P_4O_{10}+6H_2O\rightarrow 4H_3PO_4[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1, Option 2 and Option 3.
