Question

Use the internet or your textbook as a reference to compare and contrast the Arrhenius Theory of acids and bases vs. the Brønsted-Lowery Theory.

Use the internet or your textbook as a reference to name the following and indicate if they are an acid or a base:
a. HCI
b. KOH
c. HNO
d. Mg(OH),

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. Arrhenius Theory which describes the concept protonic. The substance that gives H+ ions when diluted in water is called as an acid (e.g. HCl) and the substance that dissociates OH-ions whenever it is diluted in water is called as the base (e.g. NaOH)

on the other hand

Bronsted Lowery Theory describes the concept of a proton donor-acceptor. The proton-donating species is an acid and the proton-accepting species is known as a base.

2. The Chemical name and nature of acid is shown below:-

Nature Chemical Name

a. HCl Acidic Hydrochloric Acid

b. KOH Basic Potassium hydroxide

c. HNO Acidic Nitric Acid

d. Mg(OH)2 Basic Magnesium hydroxide
