Answer:

mass of phosphorus = 5.01 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of chlorine in sample = 10.3 g

Mass of phosphorus in sample = 3.00 g

Mass of chlorine in same sample = 17.2 g

Mass of phosphorus in this sample = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we will use cross multiplication method.

Mass of phosphorus / mass of chlorine = Mass of phosphorus / mass of chlorine

3.00 g / 10.3 g =  x / 17.2 g

0.29126 × 17.2 g = x

x = 5.01 g

So the sample with 17.2 gram of chlorine will have 5.01 gram of phosphorus in it.

What are the Lewis definitions of an acid and a base? In what way are Bronsted definitions? they more general than the In terms
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

Lewis definition of Acids and Bases

Chemical species which are capable of accepting electron pairs or donating protons are called Lewis acid.

Chemical species which are capable of donating electron pairs or accepting protons are called Lewis base.

Bronsted definition of acids and bases

Chemical species which are capable of donating H+ are called Bronsted acids.

Chemical species which are capable of accepting H+ are called Bronsted bases.

So all Bronsted acids are Lewis acids but all Lewis acids are not Bronsted acids.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis acid, they must have:

  • Incomplete octet
  • Double bond
  • Vacant d-orbitals

For example, in BF3, octet of boron is incomplete, so it can accept a pair of electron and behaves as Lewis acid.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis base, they must have:

  • lone pair of electrons

For example, NH3 and OH, both N and O have lone pairs of electrons, hence behave as Lewis base.
