a. $HBrO_2$ is an acid. b. $CsOH$ is a base. c. $Mg(NO_3)_2$ is a salt. d. $HClO_4$ is an acid.

Work Step by Step

1. Divide the compound in ions. a: $H^+$ and $BrO{_2}^-$ b. $Cs^+$ and $OH^-$ c. $Mg^{2+}$ and $NO{_3}^-$ d. $H^+$ and $ClO{_4}^-$ 2. If there is a $H^+$ in it, the compound is an acid. If there is a $OH^-$ in it, the compound is a base. If it does not have $H^+$ and $OH^-$, it is a salt.
