What are the Lewis definitions of an acid and a base? In what way are Bronsted definitions? they more general than the In terms
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

Lewis definition of Acids and Bases

Chemical species which are capable of accepting electron pairs or donating protons are called Lewis acid.

Chemical species which are capable of donating electron pairs or accepting protons are called Lewis base.

Bronsted definition of acids and bases

Chemical species which are capable of donating H+ are called Bronsted acids.

Chemical species which are capable of accepting H+ are called Bronsted bases.

So all Bronsted acids are Lewis acids but all Lewis acids are not Bronsted acids.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis acid, they must have:

  • Incomplete octet
  • Double bond
  • Vacant d-orbitals

For example, in BF3, octet of boron is incomplete, so it can accept a pair of electron and behaves as Lewis acid.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis base, they must have:

  • lone pair of electrons

For example, NH3 and OH, both N and O have lone pairs of electrons, hence behave as Lewis base.

During the processes of erosion and deposition, sediments that are the ________ in size will be carried the greatest distances b
Ahat [919]

The full sentences are given below:

1. During the process of erosion and deposition, sediments that are the SMALLEST in size will be carried the greatest distance before being deposited.

Erosion and deposition are the methods by which sand and rock particles are moved from one place to another. The erosion can be caused by water or wind. Water and wind have the capacity to transport particle from one location and deposit them in another location. How far the erosion is able to move the particles depend on the weight of the particles. It is easier for erosion to carry small particles over a long distance than for it to carry large particles over the same distance.

2. Most METAMORPHIC rocks form under conditions found a few kilometer under the earth surface.

Metamorphic rocks generally are formed from existing rocks. The existing rocks are usually subjected to heat and pressure, which cause radical changes in the chemical and physical properties of the rock. Metamorphic rocks can be formed underneath the earth surface if they are subjected to high temperature and pressure by the rock layers above them.

Which of the following does NOT involve a change of state? a. pouring water into a vacuum-insulated bottle b. sublimation of dry
Elena L [17]
<h2> The correct option is (a).</h2>

Explanation:

  • There is no change of state in pouring water into a vacuum insulated bottle as the vacuum created inside the bottle only reduces the time limit for the transfer of heat by conduction and convection.
  • It helps the content filled in the bottle to be hot and cool for a longer time.

Hence, option (a) is correct.

Rest of the options (b), (c), (d), (e) is not correct because of the following reasons:

  • In the sublimation of dry ice, the dry ice (solid-state) is changed to the vapour form.
  • In the freezing of water, the liquid state is changed to solid-state.
  • During the vaporization of alcohol, the liquid state is changed to the vapour form.
  • During the melting of ice, the solid-state is changed to the liquid state.
