Substance a is a base, and substance b is an acid
Answer:
Two methods which help us to conserve water are:
Sprinkler irrigation system: this irrigation has an arrangement of vertical pipes with rotating nozzles on the top. It is more useful in the uneven and sandy land where sufficient water is not available.
Drip irrigation system: this irrigation system has an arrangement of pipes or tubes with very small holes in them to water plants drop by drop just at the base of the root. It is very efficient as water is not wasted at all.
Weathering is the process of breaking large rocks and boulders into much smaller ones. Weathering can be brought about by wind and water mostly. Sometimes even biological forces account for some types of weathering.
Answer : The correct option is, (D) CO₂, BCl₃, and Fe³⁺
Explanation :
According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.
(a) 
It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs.
(b) 
It is not a Lewis-acid because it can not accepts electron pairs but it is a base because it can donates and accept hydrogen ion.
(c) 
It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs because it has an incomplete octet and an empty 2p orbital.
(d) 
It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs.
Hence, the ions which behave as Lewis acids are, CO₂, BCl₃, and Fe³⁺
Answer:
Generally fertilizers increase earth worm numbers if the PH of the soil is kept near neutral.
