The compound NaOH is a base for all three of the theories we have learned. However, each of the three theories describes what a base is in different terms. Use knowledge of the three theories to describe NaOH as an Arrhenius base, a Bronsted-Lowry base and a Lewis base.

For each of the following strong base solutions, determine [OH−],[H3O+],pH, and pOH. Determine [OH−] and [H3O+] for a 1.7×10−3M Ca(OH)2 solution.

Two major models for acid-base behavior are the Arrhenius model and the Bronsted-Lowry model. How are these two models similar? How do they differ? Give an example of a situation in which a substance would be classified as an acid number the Bronsted-Lowry model, but not under the Arrhenius model.

Use the below reaction to answer the following question. HCl +  H2O  < ——->   H3O+  +  Cl-   Using Bronstead-Lowry Definition of acid and base, Is H2O an acid or a base?
