Answer:The Lewis acid the in the given reaction is Cr^{3+} ion.

Explanation:

According Lewis Theory of  acid base concept:

  • Acids are those who accepts pair of electron pair
  • Bases are those who donates pair of electron pair.

Cr^{3+}(aq)+6H_2O(aq)\rightleftharpoons Cr(H2O)_{6}^{3+}(aq)

In the above reaction chromium (III) ion is acting as a Lewis acid and water is acting as Lewis base. Chromium ion easily accepts the electron pair that is lone pair of oxygen atom present in water molecule.

In the reaction,
Cr3+(aq) + 6H2O -------> [Cr(H2O)6]3+(aq)
Cr3+ IS THE LEWIS ACID H2O is the Lewis base.
A Lewis acid is a compound or chemical that accepts a lone pair of electrons. In the above equation, Cr3+ is accepting the lone pair of electrons.

A 1.00 cm2 blackbody surface emits 201 watts of radiant power. What is the temperature of the surface? Give to the nearest whole
erastovalidia [21]

Explanation:

Formula for black body radiation is as follows.

                 \frac{P}{A} = \sigma \times T^{4} J/m^{2}s

where,       P = power emitted

                 A = surface area of black body

          \sigma = Stephen's constant = 5.6703 \times 10^{-8} watt/m^{2}.K^{-4}

As area is given as 1.0 cm^{2}. Converting it into meters as follows.

           1.00 cm^{2} \times \frac{(10^{-2})^{2} m^{2}}{1 cm^{2}}      (as 1 m = 100 cm)

            = 1 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}

It is given that P = 201 watts. Hence,  

       \frac{201 watts}{1 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}} = 5.6703 \times 10^{-8} watt/m^{2}.K^{-4} \times T^{4}

                T^{4} = 35.45 \times 10^{12}

                       T = (35.45 \times 10^{12})^{1/4}

                          = 8862.5 K

Thus, we can conclude that the temperature of the surface is 8862.5 K.

Water can be a solid
Degger [83]

Explanation:

Transpiration: This is the evaporation of liquid water from plants and trees into the Earth's atmosphere. Nearly all water that enters the roots transpires into the atmosphere. Sublimation: This is the process where ice and snow (a solid) changes into a gas without moving through the liquid phase

Describe how phospholipids form a barrier between water inside the cell and water outside the cell
Lynna [10]
<span>Phospholipids would have to form a phospholipid bilayer in order to achieve water on the outside and water inside. This is because the nonpolar tails of the phospholipids are facing each other in a water environment because they cannot interact with the water, only their own tails, while the phosphate heads of the molecule face the periphery of the tails and interact with water. Micelles are the simplest examples of these.</span>

The density of a sample of metal is calculated using these three different sets of data: 1.2 g/mL, 1.4 g/mL, and 1.1 g/mL. If th
Iteru [2.4K]
Accurate data means the data experimentally obtained are close to the true value. Precise data means the data obtained are close to one another. In this case, the data are close to the true value which is 1.2 and the data are relatively close to one another. Hence the set is both accurate and precise.
