AlCl3 is lewis acid. Explain how?

1 answer:

3 0

For AlCl3 to be a Lewis acid, it would have to react in such a way that it accepted a lone pair from some other atom or molecule from a Lewis base.AlCl3 has an electron-deficient aluminum atom. It has only six electrons in its valence shell. It readily accepts electrons from other atoms, in an attempt to get a full valence shell of eight electrons.

Which of the following decomposition reactions is/are correct?

Valentin [98]

<span>The generalized reaction for chemical decomposition is: AB → A + B

NaOH is sodium hydroxide. When sodium and water is combined it makes sodium hydroxide and hydrogen

When sodium hydroxide decomposes under thermal decomposition, it breaks down into sodium oxide and water.

Thus, </span><span>C) 2NaOH Na2O + H2O</span>

Given a gas whose temperature is 418 K at a pressure of 56.0 kPa. What is the pressure of the gas if its Temperature changes to

Rainbow [258]

Answer: P₂=0.44 atm

Explanation:

For this problem, we are dealing with temperature and pressure. We will need to use Gay-Lussac's Law.

Gay-Lussac's Law: $\frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} } =\frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }$

First, let's do some conversions. Anytime we deal with the Ideal Gas Law and the different laws, we need to make sure our temperature is in Kelvins. Since T₂ is 64°C, we must change it to K.

64+273K=337K

Now, it may be uncomfortable to use kPa instead of atm, so let's convert kPa to atm.

$56.0kPa*\frac{1000Pa}{1kPa} *\frac{atm}{101325Pa} =0.55atm$
