AlCl3 is lewis acid. Explain how?

Chemistry
1 answer:
professor190 [17]4 years ago
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.

Can yall help me with this one, thanks!
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Element   atom    molar mass     Total        % composition

Na               1            23                    40             57.5 %

O                 1            16                     40              40%

H                1               1                      40              2.5 %

The given compound is NaOH.

Na : number of atom= 1

Molar mass= 23 g/mol

Total mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

% composition by mass = \frac{\text {mass of atom}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100=\frac{23}{40}\times 100=57.5\%

O : number of atom= 1

Molar mass= 16 g/mol

Total mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

% composition by mass = \frac{\text {mass of atom}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100=\frac{16}{40}\times 100=40\%

H : number of atom= 1

Molar mass= 1 g/mol

Total mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

% composition by mass = \frac{\text {mass of atom}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100=\frac{1}{40}\times 100=2.5\%

What is the most significant chemical difference between triacylglycerols and glycerophospholipids that leads to their different
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Triacylglycerols (triglycerides) are non-polar or hydrophobic molecules

Glycerophospholipids (phosphoglycerides) are polar or hydrophilic

Explanation:

Triacylglycerides (TGs) are esters synthesized by the esterification of three molecules of glycerol and fatty acid, and this is essentially by the replacement of the three hydroxyl groups on glycerol with three fatty acids. This removes the hydrophilic property from the glycerol molecule hence TGs are only soluble in non-polar solvents like alcohol and benzene, and TGs are therefore the storage forms of fats in adipose tissues.

Glycerophospholipids are formed by the addition of two hydrophobic fatty acid groups and one phosphoric acid (phosphate group) to glycerol (alcohol) leaving a hydrophilic head (phosphate end) and a hydrophobic tail (fatty acid ends). This amphipathic property of this molecule makes it a suitable molecule for membrane structures, especially of cells (lipid bi-layer), with an arrangement where the hydrophilic side interacts with the aqueous environment, while the hydrophobic side makes contact with the non-aqueous environment.

What is the hydroxide ion concentration in an aqueous solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of
Schach [20]
[H+][OH-] = 1x10-14 = Kw (Memorize this relationship)
(2.70x10-2)[OH-] = 1x10-14
[OH-] = 1x10-14/2.70x10-2
[OH-] = 3.70x10-13 M (assuming you ignore the autoionization of H2O)

What us the definition of half-life?
UNO [17]
Half-life is the time required for the amount of something to fall to half its initial value. This term is usually used in nuclear physics to describe how quickly unstable atoms undergo decay, or how long stable atoms survive, radioactive decay, and it is also used more generally of any type of exponential or non-exponential decay.

In simpler terms: this is when an isotopes radioactivity is cut in half
