Chemistry

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to Lewis, a base is a substance or specie which is able to donate electrons.

For example, NH_{3} is a lewis base because nitrogen has a lone pair of electron.

Therefore, when ammonia is dissolved in HCl it will accept the hydrogen atom as nitrogen gave electron to the hydrogen atom. As a result, hydrogen bonds with nitrogen atom.

             NH_{3} + HCl \rightarrow NH^{+}_{4}Cl^{-}  

Thus, we can conclude that it donates electrons in solution best describes a Lewis base.

Calculate the mass of water produced by metabolism 84.0 g of glucose
scoundrel [369]

The amount of water that will be produced is 50.36 grams

<h3>Stoichiometric problems</h3>

The metabolism of glucose is represented by the following equation:

C_6H_1_2O_6(s)+6O_2(g)--- > 6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

The mole ratio of glucose metabolized to the water produced is 1:6.

Mole of 84.0 g glucose = 84/180.156 = 0.4662 moles

Equivalent mole of water = 0.4662 x 6 = 2.7975 moles

Mass of 2.7975 moles water = 2.7975 x 18 = 50.36 grams

Match: Substance ....... Definition Lewis acid A. Provides H+ in water Bronsted-Lowry base B. Provides OH - in water Arrhenius b
Igoryamba

Answer: F.    Electron pair acceptor

Explanation:

A Lewis acid can be properly defined as any substance such as  H+ (hygrogen ion) that can accept a pair of electron.

While a Lewis base is any substance such as (OH-) that can donate a pair of electron.

In the neutralization reaction between an acid ( H+ ) and a base (OH-). Hydrogen ion (H+ ) is the Lewis acid because it accepts an electron pair from (OH-).

Other examples of Lewis acid are;  Mg2+, K+
