Acids are often defined as substances that donate protons or hydrogen ions in a chemical reaction, leading to an increase in the concentration of H+ ions in a solution. They can also be defined as substances that have a pH below 7 and can neutralize bases.

Are all substances that are Arrhenius Also bronsted lowry?

No, not all substances that are Arrhenius acids or bases are also Bronsted-Lowry acids or bases. Arrhenius acids and bases are defined based on their ability to increase the concentration of hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions in solution, while Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases are defined based on their ability to donate or accept a proton. Some substances can be Arrhenius acids or bases without being Bronsted-Lowry acids or bases, and vice versa.
