Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base in each reaction:Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆

klemol [59]

In the reaction, Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆, Na⁺ is a Lewis acid and H₂O is a Lewis base.

<h3>What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?</h3>

According to the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, acids accept pairs of electrons and bases donate pairs of electrons.
Any substance like H+ ion, which is capable of accepting a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair acceptor is known as a Lewis acid.
Any substance, like the OH- ion, that is capable of donating a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair donor is a Lewis base.
Here Na⁺ that is electron deficient accepts electrons from the electron donor, H₂O
From the Lewis theory, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms, acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons.

Which of the following are held together by nonpolar convalent bonds?

Olin [163]

A. Atoms of chlorine (Cl)

Explanation:

The atoms of chlorine are held together by non-polar covalent bonds.

Covalent bonds are formed between two or more atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference.
For homonuclear molecules where the two bonding atom are of the same kind, the electronegativity difference is zero.
This covalent bond type is called non-polar covalent bond.
In this bond type, there is equal sharing of the electron pair between the atoms and there is no electrostatic charge on the molecule.

At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings? A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g ) A(s)+B(s)⟶C(g) 2 A ( g ) +

Tju [1.3M]

Correct question:

At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings?

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

(d) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 3 C ( g )

Answer:

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

Explanation:

Work done by a system on the surroundings at a constant pressure is given as;

W = -PΔV

Where;

ΔV is gas expansion, that is final volume of the gas minus initial volume of the gas must be greater than zero.

Part (a)

A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

ΔV = 1 - (0) = 1 (expansion)

Part (b)

2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )

ΔV = 5 - ( 2+ 2) = 1 (expansion)

Part (c)

A ( g ) + B ( g ) ⟶ C ( g )

ΔV = 1 - ( 1 + 1) = -1 (compression)

Part (d)

2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 3 C ( g )

ΔV = 3 - ( 4) = -1 (compression)

Thus, systems where there is gas expansion are in part (a) and part (b). The correct answers are:

(a) A ( s ) + B ( s ) ⟶ C ( g )

(b) 2 A ( g ) + 2 B ( g ) ⟶ 5 C ( g )
