ANSWER:
Solution 25P
Here we have to explain the how are the Arrhenius and Brønsted-Lowry acid-base definitions different and how they are similar. We have to write the name two Bronsted- Lowry bases that are not Arrhenius bases and the same for acids.
Step 1
According to Arrhenius concept, a substance is said to be acid if it dissociate H+ ion in aqueous solution and a substance is said to be base if it dissociate OH- ion in aqueous solution.
According to Brønsted-Lowry acid-base concept, an acid is a proton (H+) donor and a base is a proton acceptor.
The similarity between the both definitions is, an acid produces hydronium ions and a base produces hydroxide ions when added to water.
