According to the Arrhenius theory, when an acidic substance is dissolved in water it will produce a solution which contains the hydrogen ion as only positive ion.

Therefore, the substance which yields hydrogen ions as the only positive ion is:

(2) CH3COOH\text{\color{#4257b2}(2) $\mathrm{CH_3COOH}$}
