What are the Lewis definitions of an acid and a base? In what way are Bronsted definitions? they more general than the In terms

of orbitals and electron arrangements, what must be present for a molecule or an ion to act as a Lewis acid (use HT and BF3 as examples)? What must be present for a molecule or ion to act as a Lewis base (use OH and NH3 as examples)?

Explanation:

Lewis definition of Acids and Bases

Chemical species which are capable of accepting electron pairs or donating protons are called Lewis acid.

Chemical species which are capable of donating electron pairs or accepting protons are called Lewis base.

Bronsted definition of acids and bases

Chemical species which are capable of donating H+ are called Bronsted acids.

Chemical species which are capable of accepting H+ are called Bronsted bases.

So all Bronsted acids are Lewis acids but all Lewis acids are not Bronsted acids.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis acid, they must have:

  • Incomplete octet
  • Double bond
  • Vacant d-orbitals

For example, in BF3, octet of boron is incomplete, so it can accept a pair of electron and behaves as Lewis acid.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis base, they must have:

  • lone pair of electrons

For example, NH3 and OH, both N and O have lone pairs of electrons, hence behave as Lewis base.

Balancing Al+ Agcl, i have problems with this so help!!!
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Al  + 3AgCl  →  AlCl₃  + 3Ag

Explanation:

The given equation is:  

      Al  + AgCl  →  

We are to find the product and hence balance the equation. This problem is a simple single replacement reaction.

By virtue of this, Aluminum will displace Ag from the solution:

                       Al  + AgCl  →  AlCl₃  + Ag

    We then balance the equation:

                        Al  + 3AgCl  →  AlCl₃  + 3Ag

The volume of carbon gas at 5.0 ATM was measured to be 363 ml. What will the pressure be if the volume is change to .00020 ml?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The answer to your question is P2 = 9075000 atm

Explanation:

Data

Pressure 1 = P1 = 5 atm

Volume 1 = V1 = 363 ml

Pressure 2 = P2 = ?

Volume 2 = 0.0002 ml

Process

To solve this problem use Boyle's law

                 P1V1 = P2V2

-Solve for P2

                 P2 = P1V1/V2

-Substitution

                  P2 = (5 x 363) / 0.0002

-Simplification

                  P2 = 1815 / 0.0002

-Result

                 P2 = 9075000 atm
