Identify the molecules or ions below as Lewis acids, Lewis bases, or neither. If there is more than one possible site in the mol
1 answer:
Answer: Neither
Explanation:
According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.
is a hydrocarbon containing carbon and hydrogen, which have almost same electronegativity values. Thus is a non polar molecule.
It does not donate electrons as it does not contain any lone pair of electrons. It can not accept electrons as it's octet is already complete. Thus is neither a lewis acid nor a lewis base.

Answer:
No precipitate is formed.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the dissociation reaction of magnesium fluoride:
And the undergoing chemical reaction:
We need to compute the yielded moles of magnesium fluoride, but first we need to identify the limiting reactant for which we compute the available moles of magnesium chloride:
Next, the moles of magnesium chloride consumed by the sodium fluoride:
Thus, less moles are consumed by the NaF, for which the moles of formed magnesium fluoride are:
Next, since the magnesium fluoride to magnesium and fluoride ions is in a 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratio, the concentrations of such ions are:
Thereby, the reaction quotient is:
In such a way, since Q<Ksp we say that the ions tend to be formed, so no precipitate is formed.
Regards.
