What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?

In the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, bases donate pairs of electrons and acids accept pairs of electrons.

A Lewis acid is therefore any substance, such as the H+ ion, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. In other words, a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor.

A Lewis base is any substance, such as the OH- ion, that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. A Lewis base is therefore an electron-pair donor.

The Lewis theory suggests that acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms.

Which one of the following reactions IS NOT balanced? 1. 2 KNO3 + 10 K → 5 K2O + N2 2. 2 SO2 + O2 → 2 SO3 3. SF4 + 3 H2O → H2SO3
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

2 KNO₃ + 10 K → 5 K₂O + N₂  (option 1)

Explanation:

1. 2 KNO₃ + 10 K → 5 K₂O + N₂

We have in reactant side:

2 K, 2N, 6O and 10 K. In conclussion, 12 K, 2N and 6 O

We have in product side.

10 K, 5O and 2 N

This equation is unbalanced

2. 2 SO₂ + O₂ → 2 SO₃

In reactant side we have 2 S and 6 O

In product side we have 2 S and 6 O

3. SF₄ + 3 H₂O → H₂SO₃ + 4 HF

In reactant side we have 1 S, 4F, 6 H and 3 O

In product side we have 1 S, 4F, 6 H and 3 O

An alternative form or version of a gene is a(n):
uysha [10]

Answer:

The answer is A.allele

Explanation:

An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome. Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent.

A pinch of salt has
Inessa [10]

13.29 X 10^{21} moles of NaCl are in a pinch of salt and a pinch of salt has

approximately 3.29x10^{21} formula units of NaCl.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon 12; its symbol is “mol”.

We know that 1 formula unit of sodium chloride has a molar mass of 58.44g/mol

Hence;

Mass of 1 formula unit = 58.44g

Mass of 3.29 x 10^{21} formula units

13.29 x 10^{21} x 58.44g

776.6676 x 10^{21}

Moles =\frac{776.6676 X 10^{21} }{ 58.44g}

Moles = 13.29 X 10^{21}

Therefore;

13.29 X 10^{21} moles of NaCl are in a pinch of salt.

What is the ph of a very acidic solution?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:  

pH = -1

Explanation:

A solution of 10 mol·L⁻¹ HCl is very acidic.

HCl is a strong acid, so it dissociates completely in water and

[\text{H}_{3}\text{O}^{+}] = \text{10 mol/L}

To get the pH, you take the negative logarithm of the hydronium ion concentration.  

\text{pH} = -\log{(10)} = -1\\

So, a pH = -1 represents a very acidic solution.
