Question

O2- is the Lewis ______ in the following reaction

Answer 1

$O^{2-}$ is the Lewis base in the following reaction:

$SO_3(g) + O^{2-}(aq)$   →  $SO_4^{2-}(aq)$

What is lewis base?

Lewis base is a species that donates an electron pair.

In the above-given chemical equation, the $O^{2-}$is the lewis base which is donating an electron pair to the central atom of $SO_3$ to form $SO_4^{-2}$.

Hence, $O^{2-}$ is the Lewis base in the following reaction:

$SO_3(g) + O^{2-}(aq)$   →  $SO_4^{2-}(aq)$
