GrogVix [38]2 years ago
5 0

OH⁻, BeCl₂ and SiF₄ are Lewis acids whereas, Mg²⁺ is a Lewis base.

<h3>What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?</h3>
  • According to the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, acids accept pairs of electrons and bases donate pairs of electrons.
  • Any substance like H+ ion, which is capable of accepting a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair acceptor is known as a Lewis acid.
  • Any substance, like the OH- ion, that is capable of donating a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair donor is a Lewis base.
  • Here OH⁻, BeCl₂ and SiF₄ are electron deficient whereas, Mg²⁺ donates the electrons to other species present in the reaction.
  • From the Lewis theory, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms, acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons.

The drinking water standard for nitrate is 10 mg/L as N (i.e., drinking waters should not exceed this value). What quantity of n
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

This concentrations represents 9.71 x 10¹⁹  nitrate ions per litre of drinking water.

Explanation:

Nitrate: NO₃⁻

MW = 62.00 g/mol

1 mol = 6.022 x 10²³

62 g  NO₃⁻ ____________ 6.022 x 10²³ ions

10 x 10⁻³ g NO₃⁻ _________ x

x = 9.71 x 10¹⁹ ions

This concentrations represents 9.71 x 10¹⁹  nitrate ions per litre of drinking water.

What are 2 ways that convection currents in the oceans distribute the sun's energy?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

When air in contact with the ocean is at a different temperature than the sea surface, heat transfer by conduction takes place. The ocean also absorbs and stores energy from the sun, and when precipitation falls, it releases heat energy into the atmosphere.

Hope it helps:)

What mass of CaCl2 (in g ) should the chemist use?
solmaris [256]

The mass of the solute required is 250.25 g.

<h3>What is the mass of the solute?</h3>

We know that the number of moles of the solute can be used to obtain the mass of the solute that is  required. We can now try to find the mass of the solute that is required.

Concentration of the solution = 0.350M

Volume of the solution = 6.5 L

Number of moles of the solute = 0.350M *  6.5 L

= 2.275 moles

We now have the mass of the solute as;

2.275 moles  * 110 g/mol

= 250.25 g

Th measured mass of the solute that we would have to use is 250.25 g.
