<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Lewis acid-base concept:

The substance which is donating electron pair is considered as Lewis base and the substance which is accepting electron pair is considered as Lewis acid.

For the given chemical reaction:

CuO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow CuCO_3(s)

CO_2 is accepting electron pair and is getting converted to CO_3^{2-}. Thus, it is considered as Lewis acid.

O^{2-} present in CuO is a Lewis base because it is donating electron pair.

Thus, the correct answer is Option d.

How does size affect weight?<br> (20 points, write at least 5 sentences answer pls thx!)
Igoryamba
Many weight charts have 10 pound increments in each frame size; small, medium, and large. ... Being big-boned or small boned doesn't justify a 20-25 pounds differential from a normal size person. If you are truly convinced you are not overweight just big boned.

In the laboratory a student combines 47.8 mL of a 0.321 M aluminum nitrate solution with 21.8 mL of a 0.366 M aluminum iodide so
alex41 [277]

Answer: The final concentration of aluminum cation is 0.335 M.

Explanation:

Given: V_{1} = 47.8 mL (1 mL = 0.001 L) = 0.0478 L

M_{1} = 0.321 M,       V_{2} = 21.8 mL = 0.0218 L,      M_{2} = 0.366 M

As concentration of a substance is the moles of solute divided by volume of solution.

Hence, concentration of aluminum cation is calculated as follows.

[Al^{3+}] = \frac{M_{1}V_{1} + M_{2}V_{2}}{V_{1} + V_{2}}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[Al^{3+}] = \frac{M_{1}V_{1} + M_{2}V_{2}}{V_{1} + V_{2}}\\= \frac{0.321 M \times 0.0478 L + 0.366 M \times 0.0218 L}{0.0478 L + 0.0218 L}\\= \frac{0.0153438 + 0.0079788}{0.0696}\\= 0.335 M

Thus, we can conclude that the final concentration of aluminum cation is 0.335 M.
