Answer:
Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, is an Arrhenius base and therefore also a Brønsted-Lowry base.
However, water can also act as a base by accepting a proton from an acid to become its conjugate base, H3O+. where Al(OH)3 is acting as a Lewis Base.
Explanation:
Arrhenius acids and bases
An Arrhenius acid is any species that increases the concentration of H+start text, H, end text, start superscript, plus, end superscript in aqueous solution.
An Arrhenius base is any species that increases the concentration of OH−start text, O, H, end text, start superscript, minus, end superscript in aqueous solution.
