Answer:

I don't see a specific question, so I'll make a few comments and hope that answers the reason for the post.

Explanation:

Zinc(Zn) does react with iron chloride, since zinc is a more reactive metal than the iron.

When Zn is introduced to an iron (III) chloride solution, the Zn disoplaces the Fe atom in a displacement reaction.

The chemical equation of the reaction:

Zn + Fe(III)Cl3 → ZnCl3 + Fe

Energy is often realeased in this type of reaction, since the resulting chemical products have a lower energy that the reactants.

There are several metals more reactive than iron. One of the more interesting examples of a highly exothermic reaction with iron chloride (rust) is the reaction of aluminum with iron chloride. `This is highly exothermic and is labelled a thermite reaction. It provides a spectacular flame that is not enough to weld railroad tracks together.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a polar molecule whose positive center is on the carbon atom: This positive center is able to attract (and accept) the lone electron pairs present on the oxide ion (O2-). carbon dioxide is acts as a Lewis acid

A Lewis acid can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base. The boron in BF3 is electron poor and has an empty orbital, so it can accept a pair of electrons, making it a Lewis acid. A Lewis acid is defined as an electron-pair acceptor.

In CO molecule, there is a lone pair on both carbon and oxygen. The substance which can donate an electron pair are called Lewis base. It is clear that CO molecule can donate an electron pair and hence, it is a Lewis base. Also, CO can be BOTH a Lewis acid and base.

Oxygen is a Lewis base (that too a weak one), not a Lewis acid. REASON: It has lone pair of electrons, which can be donated to electron-deficient species (Lewis acids).

Methane is Neither a Lewis Acid or Lewis Base.
