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 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

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
