For the reaction, identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base. AlF3 + CH3F → CH3+ + [AlF4]-

1 answer:

5 0

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,
 AlF₃ + CH₃F → CH₃⁺ + [AlF₄]⁻

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⁺.

baherus [9]

Answer: 1. $9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles

2. 90 mg

Explanation:

$O_3(g)+2NaI(aq)+H_2O(l) \rightarrow O_2(g)+I_2(s)+2NaOH(aq)$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of ozone is removed by 2 moles of sodium iodide.

Thus $4.54 \times 10^{-6}$ moles of ozone is removed by = $\frac{2}{1}\times 4.54 \times 10^{-6}=9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles of sodium iodide.

Thus $9.08\times 10^{-6}$ moles of sodium iodide are needed to remove $4.54\times 10^{-6}$ moles of $O_3$

2. $\text{Number of moles of ozone}=\frac{0.01331g}{48g/mol}=0.0003moles$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of ozone is removed by 2 moles of sodium iodide.

Thus 0.0003 moles of ozone is removed by = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.0003=0.0006$ moles of sodium iodide.

Mass of sodium iodide= $moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=0.0006\times 150g/mol=0.09g=90mg$ (1g=1000mg)

Thus 90 mg of sodium iodide are needed to remove 13.31 mg of $O_3$ .

Assuming equal concentrations, rank these solutions by ph.? assuming equal concentrations, rank these solutions by ph. koh (aq h

polet [3.4K]

I remember coming across this question and the options were:
KOH, HCN, NH₃, HI, Sr(OH)₂

Now, a substance with a low pH is one that dissociates completely in water to release hydrogen ions, while basic substances dissociate completely to release hydroxide ions. Therefore, in the order of increasing pH:
HI, HCN, NH₃, Sr(OH)₂, KOH

Would the water in a pond or the water in a full bathtub have more thermal energy? Explain why.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object. Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup.

Chemistry: counting atoms in compounds worksheet #7.0.1 Answer please!!!!!

stealth61 [152]

Counting atoms in a compound can be done by taking one element at a time and multiplying the subscript of the element and the number of molecules of the compounds. For example, H2O, there are two atoms of H adn 1 atom of oxygen.

Which period is older than the Triassic period? Cambrian Cretaceous Jurassic Paleogene.

scoundrel [369]

The Triassic period is one of the geological periods and is the shortest of the Mesozoic era. Cambrian is the older era than the Triassic period.

<h3>What is Cambrian and triassic period?</h3>

The Triassic period existed 250 -200 million years ago and started after the vastest and most extreme devastation ever. It is the 1st period of the Mesozoic and is known for the movement of the Dinosaurs on the land, flying pterosaurs and swimming plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs.

The Cambrian is the period of the Paleozoic era and is the most important period because of the appearance of many animals. In this period, the temperature raised on the planet and the ice sheets melted at a very dangerous rate leading to mass devastation.

Therefore, option A. Cambrian is older than the Triassic period.
