That wouldn't be my description, but it could reasonably be interpreted as a rephrasing of the Arrhenius definition of a base.
The reason I'm not just saying "yes" is that there are different definitions of acids and bases, and which one you use matters. Most of the time chemists tend to think in terms of the Bronsted-Lowry definitions if the type is not explicitly specified, and that definition doesn't say anything about water (though your definition would remain true: a Bronsted base is a proton acceptor, so it would "accept' ... that is, combine with ... H+ ions, which are, after all, protons).

What is the substance that produces hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water is a?
If a substance produces hydroxyl ions (OH-) when dissolved in water, it is referred to as a BASE.
What makes acid a acid and a base a base?
If the substance produces Hydrogen ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is an acid. If it produces Hydroxide ions when it is dissolved in water, then it is a base.
Is an ammonia water an acid or a base?
Ammonia water is a base chemically, if it reacts with an acidic substance it will produce a salt that is dissolved in the water..
When a strong base is dissolved in water which type of ions is present in high concentration?
When a strong base is dissolved in water , OH ion concentration will be high.
What is the difference between the base and the alkaline?
An Alkali is a soluble base. A Base may be a ssolid , that will dissolve in water, whereupon it becomes an alkali. Sodium oxide is a solid base (Na2O) . However, when it is dissolved in water it becomes the alkali sodium hydroxide. (NaOH) Na2O + H2O = 2NaOH .
What is a substance that releases hydroxyl ions when dissolved in water?
This substance is a base.

A substance that combines with hydrogen ions?
A base
What substance increases the number of OH?
A substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in solution (OH-), is referred to as an Arrhenius base.
If bases are solutions what do they contain?
A base is defined as a substance which, when dissolved in water, produces OH- also known as the hydroxide ion.
What is any dissolved substance?
A simple common example of a dissolved substance would be placing sugar or salt in water. you can do this at home as an experiment. Take a clear glass container and place 1/2 cup of water in it with 1 teaspoon of sugar or salt and stir to increase how fast it is dissolved
Why does a saturated salt dissolve when heated?
acid is a substance that produces hydronium ions when it is dissolved in water, and a base is one that produces hydroxide ions
What is an acid and base?
An acid base indicator is a substance that changes colour due the PH of the medium in which it is dissolved.
Formed when an acid and a base are combined?
cambing a base and an acid form salt and wate. there are three goups: acids,bases and salt a substance that when dissolved in water will charge hydrogen ions in solution.
When a strong base is dissolved in water which type of ions is present in high concentration?
When a strong base is dissolved in water , OH ion concentration will be high.
