A Lewis acid-base reaction occurs when a base donates a pair of electrons to an acid. ... A Brønsted-Lowry acid such as HCl is an acid-base adduct according to the Lewis concept, and proton transfer occurs because a more stable acid-base adduct is formed.

Example: Water (H2O) has two nonbonding pairs of electrons, so it donates one pair to the carbocation. As a result, one bond is formed and shared between carbon and oxygen. Water acts as a Lewis base because it is the electron pair donor in this reaction.

Answer:

How does methane gas affect the environment?

If methane leaks into the air before being used — from a leaky pipe, for instance — it absorbs the sun's heat, warming the atmosphere. For this reason, it's considered a greenhouse gas, like carbon dioxide.

Suppose that 7.25 x 10^22 atoms of a hypothetical element have a mass of 3.88 g. What would be the molar mass (g/mol) of this el

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

32.23 to 4 significant figures.

Explanation:

The molar mass of the element is the mass of 6.022 * 10^23 atoms (Avogadro's number).

So by proportion it is 6.022 * 10^23 * 3.88 / 7.25 * 10^22

= 32.23 to 4 significant figures.
