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>

Answer:
actually answer should be helium
Explanation:
Since HF is a weak acid, the use of an ICE table is required to find the pH. The question gives us the concentration of the HF.
HF+H2O⇌H3O++F−HF+H2O⇌H3O++F−
Initial0.3 M-0 M0 MChange- X-+ X+XEquilibrium0.3 - X-X MX M
Writing the information from the ICE Table in Equation form yields
6.6×10−4=x20.3−x6.6×10−4=x20.3−x
Manipulating the equation to get everything on one side yields
0=x2+6.6×10−4x−1.98×10−40=x2+6.6×10−4x−1.98×10−4
Now this information is plugged into the quadratic formula to give
x=−6.6×10−4±(6.6×10−4)2−4(1)(−1.98×10−4)−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√2x=−6.6×10−4±(6.6×10−4)2−4(1)(−1.98×10−4)2
The quadratic formula yields that x=0.013745 and x=-0.014405
However we can rule out x=-0.014405 because there cannot be negative concentrations. Therefore to get the pH we plug the concentration of H3O+ into the equation pH=-log(0.013745) and get pH=1.86
