Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is below

Which Of These Species Is Most Likely To Be A Lewis Acid And Is Also Least Likely To Be A Brønsted Acid? (A) NH4⁺ (B) BF₃ (C) H₂O (D) OH⁻

The correct option is B

Explanation:

A lewis acid is a substance that accepts (or is capable of accepting) a pair of electrons. For example BF₃, while a lewis base is a substance that donates (or is capable of donating) a pair of electrons. For example OH⁻.

If we take a look at the boron (B) in BF₃, it has 3 electrons on it's outermost shell, each of which are bonded to flourine and can still accept a pair of electrons (lone pair). <u>This makes it very likely to be a lewis acid</u>.

Bronsted lowry acid is a substance that donates or can donate a proton or H⁺ (for example HCl) while bronsted lowry base is a substance that accepts or can accept a proton or H⁺ (for example NH₃).

<u>BF₃ cannot donate a proton or H⁺ hence it is least likely to be called a bronsted acid.</u>

Calculate the number of moles of C2H6 in 6.29×1023 molecules of C2H6.
Kipish [7]

1.05moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of molecules of C₂H₆ = 6.29 x 10²³molecules

Unknown:

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

The mole is the amount of substances that contains Avogadro's number of particles i.e 6.02 x 10²³

 To find the number of moles:

  number of moles = \frac{number of particles}{Avogadro's number}

  number of moles = \frac{6.29 x 10^{23} }{6.02 x 10^{23} }

  number of moles = 1.05moles
