Answer:

Due to an electron-pair acceptor and donor.

Explanations:

Lewis acid 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).

Lewis base 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).

Which statement best describes the properties of metals?

topjm [15]

The only statement that states a fact about metals is the first option, letter A. They are shiny and bend without breaking. Choices B-D are wrong because metals are not insulators but are god conductors of heat and electricity. Metals can be flattened but they are not brittle.

HELP!! b. At the equivalence point, all of the acid has been neutralized by the base. Why does the pH change so

CaHeK987 [17]

At equivalence there is no more HA and no more NaOH, for this particular reaction. So that means we have a beaker of NaA and H2O. The H2O contributes 1 x 10-7 M hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion. But NaA is completely soluble because group 1 ion compounds are always soluble. So NaA breaks apart in water and it just so happens to be in water. So now NaA is broken up. The Na+ doesn't change the pH but the A- does change the pH. Remember that the A anion is from a weak acid. That means it will easily attract a hydrogen ion if one is available. What do you know? The A anion is in a beaker of H+ ions! So the A- will attract H+ and become HA. When this happens, it leaves OH-, creating a basic solution, as shown below.
