Use the information and table to answer the following question. A group of students are trying to determine whether a base is an Arrhenius base or a Bronsted-Lowry base. Student Does the base react with an acid to produce water and a salt? Does the base neutralize an acid? What is the pOH of the base? Does the base accept a proton from the 3. 4. acid? Which student's question would be the MOST useful to determine this? O A. Student 1, because if the base reacts with an acid and produces water and a salt it is a Bronsted-Lowry base. B. Student 4, because a Bronsted-Lowry base always accepts a proton from an acid to form a conjugate acid. C. Student 2, because only Bronsted-Lowry bases will neutralize acids. D. Student 3, because the pOH can be used to calculate the pH of the base.
