Is the interaction between an ammonia ligand and a metal cation a lewis acid-base interaction?

Chemistry

Answer: Yes interaction between an ammonia ligand and a metal cation is a lewis acid-base interaction

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.

As metal cation is short of electrons to complete its octet, thus it can easily accept an electron pair from ammonia which can easily donate its lone pair of electron and thus acts as lewis base.

M^{n+}+NH_3\rightarrow M(NH_3)_n

Thus interaction between an ammonia ligand and a metal cation is a lewis acid-base interaction

A molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) contains two polar covalent bonds. Why is the molecule nonpolar?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer : Option C) The polar bonds are oriented in opposite direction.

Explanation : A molecule of carbon dioxide (CO_{2}) contains two polar covalent bonds. This molecule is non-polar because the polar bonds are oriented in the opposite direction.

In order to be a polar molecule, carbon dioxide must have both a slightly negative side and a slightly positive side in its molecule. The orientation of the lone pairs of electrons present on each oxygen atom cancels each other, making the molecule non polar.

Calculate the maximum mass of potassium sulfate, K2SO4, that could be formed when 4.9 g of sulfuric acid reacts with excess pota
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

From 4.9 g of sulfuric acid 8.175 g of potassium sulfate is formed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of H₂SO₄ = 4.9 g

Mass of K₂SO₄ formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical reaction:

H₂SO₄ + 2KOH    →    K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of H₂SO₄:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 4.9 g/ 98.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

Now we will compare the moles of  H₂SO₄ with  K₂SO₄ .

                       H₂SO₄         :             K₂SO₄

                            1             :                  1

                       0.05           :             0.05

Mass of K₂SO₄:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.05 mol × 174.3 g/mol

Mass = 8.715 g

Thus, from 4.9 g of sulfuric acid 8.175 g of potassium sulfate is formed.
