Answer:

Due to an electron-pair acceptor and donor.

Explanations:

<em><u>Lewis acid</u></em> can be defined as an electron-pair acceptor. An example is Hydrogen ion(H+). This is because it is a proton and it distributes positive charge which means that it accepts electrons(negative charge).

<em><u>Lewis base</u></em> can be defined as an electron-pair donor. This is because it donates electrons to be accepted by the proton. An example is ammonia(NH3).

Look at sample problem 19.10 in the 8th ed Silberberg book. Write the Ksp expression. Find the concentrations of the ions you ne

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

$CaF_2 \to Ca^{2+} + 2F^-$

$Ksp = 3.2 \times 10^{-11}$

no of moles of $Ca^{2+}$ = 0.01 L × 0.0010 mol/L

no of moles of $Ca^{2+}$ = $1 \times 10^{-5} \ mol$

no of moles of $F^-$ = 0.01 L × 0.00010 mol/L

no of moles of $F^-$ = $1 \times 10^{-6}\ mol$

Total volume = 0.02 L

$[Ca^{2+}}] = \dfrac{1\times10^{-5} \ mol}{0.02 \ L} \\ \\ \\ \[[Ca^{2+}}] = 0.0005 \ mol/L$

$[F^{-}] = \dfrac{(1\times 10^{-6} \ mol)}{0.02 \ L}$

$[F^{-}] = 5 \times 10^{-5} \ mol/L$

$Q = [Ca^{2+}][F^-]^2 \\ \\ Q = 0.0005 \times (5\times 10^{-5})^2 \\ \\ Q = 1.25 \times 10^{-12}$

Since Q<ksp, then there will no be any precipitation of CaF2
