Bases produce OH- when they react with water.

A weak base is a substance that ionizes only to a small extent in water. A weak base remains largely undissociated in water. Recall that bases produce OH- in solution.

The equation of the reaction by which the following species produce OH- in water are shown below;

CO3^2-(aq) + H2O(l) -------> HCO2^-(aq) + OH^-(aq)

C6H5NH2(aq) +  H2O(l) -------> C6H5NH3^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)

C2H5NH2(aq) +  H2O(l) -------> C2H5NH3^+(aq) +  OH^-(aq)
