Which of the following best describes a Lewis base?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Semenov [28]3 years ago
7 0

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.

How natural plants and wetlands purify water
DedPeter [7]
Plants and wetlands purify water by acting as filter media. The roots of the plants and the wetlands would trap pollutants like sediments and hold onto the. In wetlands, the flow of water is slow allowing for the sediments to settle due to gravity onto the bottom where the plants would accumulate them into place. With this, excess nutrients would be remove and will prevent polluting bodies of water. Also, bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella can be filtered out from the water. There are plants that works excellent for filtering out pollutants like the lilies, hornwort, bulrushes and rushes.

A 4.86-gram sample of calcium reacted completely with oxygen to form 6.80 grams of calcium oxide. This reaction is represented b
sesenic [268]
The number of mole of Ca reacted is:
4.86 g Ca/ (40.08 g/mol Ca)= 0.121 mol Ca

Because Ca reacted completely with oxygen and there is 2 mol Ca, there is 1 mol O2 reacted.

Total mass of oxygen that reacted is:
0.121 mol Ca* (1mol O2/ 2 mol Ca)* (32 g O2/ 1 mol O2)= 1.94 g O2 reacted.

Hope this would help~

Which statements describe phase changes? Check all that apply. Particles in a liquid need to move more slowly in order to freeze
Kipish [7]

Answer: Statements (A), and (C) are correct.

Explanation:

The statements that are true are as follows.

  • Particles in a liquid need to move more slowly in order to freeze.

When a liquid freezes the molecules get attracted towards each other. This attraction of particles occurs slowly. Hence, this statement is true.

  • Attractive forces between the particles in a liquid are broken when a liquid boils.

When temperature is raised, the molecules in a liquid gains kinetic energy and start to move quickly in random directions. As a result, liquid state changes to gaseous state. Hence, this statement is true.

If the attractive force between gas molecules have to be increased, they should be moving slower instead because moving faster does not help attracting molecules together.

Hence, the statement particles in gas move fast enough to make more attractive forces when the gas condenses is not true.
