Can I+ (the iodine cation) becalled a Lewis base? Fullyexlplain your answer.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alenkinab [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: No I+ cannot be called a Lewis base.

Explanation:

According to Lewis Theory, it defines an acid as an electron-pair acceptor and a base as an electron-pair donor.

In terms of Lewis basicity, Iodide ion (anions) has the more readily available lone pair electrons for donation since iodide ion is less electronegative .

With the help of the net electronic structure one can understand the answer of the question, because we need to study the I+  ion (cation) structure.

Lewis acid is therefore any substance, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. 

From the picture below I+ is most likely ready to accept electrons not to give from it 5s orbital to become stable.

What is Δn for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?2 SO2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2 SO3(g)23-2-11
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}

Where,  

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

2SO_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons2SO_3_{(g)}

<u>Δn = (2)-(2+1) = -1  </u>

Thus, Kp is:

K_p=  K_c\times (RT)^{-1}

What is the oxidation state of each element in so32â?
Ierofanga [76]
 <span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2. 

Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element. 

+x -6 = -2 
+x -2 
S O3 

Solve for x 
x = +4</span>
