Answer:
            AlF₃ is Lewis Acid

            CH₃F is Lewis Base

Explanation:
                     According to Lewis concept ,"those compounds which donate pair of electrons are called as Lewis Base and those accepting pair of electrons are called as Lewis Acid.

In Given Reaction,
<span>                               AlF</span>₃<span> + CH</span>₃<span>F → CH</span>₃⁺<span> + [AlF</span>₄<span>]</span>⁻

AlF₃ is acting as acid because the octet of Al is not complete, hence it has tendency to accept electrons.

CH₃F is acting as a base because the F atom containing three lone pair of electrons can donate it to Al metal resulting in the formation of electrophile i.e. CH₃⁺.

A solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of 3.25 × 10-2 m is ________ and has a hydroxide concentration of _______
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To know the acidity of a solution, we calculate the pH value. The formula for pH is given as:

<span>pH = - log [H+]            where H+ must be in Molar</span>

We are given that H+ = 3.25 × 10-2 M

Therefore the pH is:

pH = - log [3.25 × 10-2] 

pH = 1.488

Since pH is way below 7, therefore the solution is acidic.

 

To find for the OH- concentration, we must remember that the product of H+ and OH- is equivalent to 10^-14. Therefore,

[H+]*[OH-] = 10^-14 <span>
</span>[OH-] = 10^-14 / [H+]

[OH-] = 10^-14 / 3.25 × 10-2

[OH-] = 3.08 × 10-13 M

 

Answers:

Acidic

[OH-] = 3.08 <span>× 10-13 M</span>

Enter a balanced equation for the reaction between solid silicon dioxide and solid carbon that produces solid silicon carbide an
givi [52]

Answer:

SiO2(s) + 3C(s)  ------> SiC(s) + 2CO(g)

Explanation:

The formula for silicon oxide is SiO2 and carbon is C. silicon carbide is SiC

and carbon monoxide is CO.

An arrow is always used to separate the reactants (left) and products (right).

A balanced equation must contain equal number of atoms in each side of the equation.

For example in the equation above, there are 1 atom of silicon appears on each side; 2 atoms of oxygen and three atoms of carbon.

Why does LiCl does not exhibit frenkel defect?
tino4ka555 [31]
Frenkel defect is a defect in crystalline solids in which an atom is displaced from its lattice position to an interstitial space. This creates a vacant space at the original site and an  interstitial defect at the new site within the same element. This defect does not affect the chemical properties of the compound. This defect usually occur in ionic solids with large size difference between the anion and cation.
LiCl does not exhibit Frenkel defect because the size difference between the anion and the cation of the compound is very small.
