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>

The density of liquid mercury is 13.69 g/cm^3. How many atoms of mercury are in a 15.0 cm^3 sample? Use "E" for "x10" and use si
balu736 [363]
The formula is  m = D x V
D = <span>13.69 g/cm^3.
</span>V = <span>15.0 cm^3 
the mass of the liquid mercury is m= </span>13.69 g/cm^3 x 15.0 cm^3 = 195g
the molar mass of Hg is 200,
1 mole of Hg = 200g Hg, so #mole of Hg= 195 / 200 = 0.97 mol
but we know that
 1 mole  = 6.022 E23 atoms
0.97 mole=?

6.022 E23 atoms x 0.97 / 1 mole = 5.84 E23 atoms

"One possibility is that the battle between the virus and your immune system can take as long as two weeks.

It could be the immune system holds the virus at bay,” said Tompkins.

Or, your immune system has to work so hard that after two weeks it’s inflamed and that’s what makes you feel bad.
