Answer:

Rank of acid-base definitions from most specific to most general is-

Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, Lewis

Explanation:

Arrhenius acids are those which contain H atom and furnish proton (H^{+}) in aqueous solution. Arrhenius bases are those which contain -OH group and furnish OH^{-} in aqueous solution.

Bronsted-Lowry acids are those which can donate protons. Bronsted-Lowry bases are those which can accept proton.

So clearly, Bronsted-Lowry acids are also Arrhenius acids and Bronsted-Lowry bases are also Arrhenius bases .

Lewis acids are those which can accept electrons. Lewis bases are are those which can donate electrons.

So, donating or furnishing of proton alternatively suggests acceptance of electrons. Also consumption of proton alternatively suggests donation of electrons.

Hence Lewis acid-base are also Arrhenius acid-base as well as Bronsted-Lowry acid-base.

I know that Lewis acids and bases are the most inclusive because it deals with electron acceptors and donators. so the answer must be A

Identify the molecules or ions below as Lewis acids, Lewis bases, or neither. If there is more than one possible site in the mol
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the molecules been referred to in the question. However, the molecules been referred to in the question is in the attachment below

Explanation:

First of all, we have to define lewis acid and lewis base.

A lewis acid is a substance that has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons. For example, H⁺. While a lewis base is a substance that is capable of donating a pair of electrons (to a lewis acid). For example, OH⁻.

Going by the definitions above, we can deduce the type of substance the molecules in the question (attachment) are

a. BF₃ (boron trifluoride) is a lewis acid because the central atom (as suggested to be focused on in the question) which is <u>boron, has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons</u>.

b. The central atom (carbon) in the compound (2-methyl propane) <u>also has the capacity to accept a pair of electrons</u> since it is positively charged (is electron deficient). Hence, it is a lewis acid.

c. The functional group in this compound (trimethyl borate) is the ether. Ethers are generally lewis bases because the oxygen atom in an ether can donate a pair of electrons from it's lone pair. However, the <u>presence of boron which is central to the compound</u> shows it is also a lewis acid, although weak (majorly due to the presence of the ethers).

If 0.200 moles of AgNO₃ react with 0.155 moles of H₂SO₄ according to this UNBALANCED equation below, what is the mass in grams o
morpeh [17]

Answer:

31.2 g of Ag₂SO₄

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2AgNO₃(aq) + H₂SO₄ (aq) → Ag₂SO₄ (s) + 2HNO₃ (aq)

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of AgNO₃ reacted with 1 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1 mole of Ag₂SO₄ and 2 moles of HNO₃.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant.

This can obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of AgNO₃ reacted with 1 mole of H₂SO₄.

Therefore, 0.2 moles of AgNO₃ will react with = (0.2 x 1)/2 = 0.1 mole of H₂SO₄.

From the calculations made above, only 0.1 mole out of 0.155 mole of H₂SO₄ given is needed to react completely with 0.2 mole of AgNO₃. Therefore, AgNO₃ is the limiting reactant.

Next,, we shall determine the number of mole of Ag₂SO₄ produced from the reaction.

In this case we shall use the limiting reactant because it will give the maximum yield of Ag₂SO₄ as all of it is consumed in the reaction.

The limiting reactant is AgNO₃ and the number of mole of Ag₂SO₄ produced can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of AgNO₃ reacted to produce 1 mole of Ag₂SO₄.

Therefore, 0.2 moles of AgNO₃ will react to produce = (0.2 x 1)/2 = 0.1 mole of Ag₂SO₄.

Therefore, 0.1 mole of Ag₂SO₄ is produced from the reaction.

Finally, we shall convert 0.1 mole of Ag₂SO₄ to grams.

This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Ag₂SO₄ = (2x108) + 32 + (16x4) = 312 g/mol

Mole of Ag₂SO₄ = 0.1

Mass of Ag₂SO₄ =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.1 = Mass of Ag₂SO₄ /312

Cross multiply

Mass of Ag₂SO₄ = 0.1 x 312

Mass of Ag₂SO₄ = 31.2 g

Therefore, 31.2 g of Ag₂SO₄ were obtained from the reaction.

Wich of these equations are balanced? a) H2SO4+2AL---&gt;AL2(SO4) b)2KCL+Pb(NO3)2---&gt;2KNO3+PbCL2
Zolol [24]

The answer is b since on a it says H2 but on the right side there is no H idk if you forgot to put H there so im guessing b. Have a good day
