Answer is: this is an example of an Arrhenius acid.
An Arrhenius acid is a
substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions or protons (H⁺).
For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).
An Arrhenius base is a
substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻).
In this example lithium hydroxide is an Arrhenius base:
LiOH(aq) → Li⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
