Answer : The correct option is, (D) CO₂, BCl₃, and Fe³⁺

Explanation :

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

(a) CO_2

It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs.

(b) NH_3

It is not a Lewis-acid because it can not accepts electron pairs but it is a base because it can donates and accept hydrogen ion.

(c) BCl_3

It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs because it has an incomplete octet and an empty 2p orbital.

(d) Fe^{3+}

It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs.

Hence, the ions which behave as Lewis acids are, CO₂, BCl₃, and Fe³⁺

A common anesthetic in dentistry known as nitronox consists of a mixture of dinitrogen oxide, n2o, and oxygen gas, o2, which is
Nesterboy [21]

Anesthetic in dentistry  consists of a mixture of dinitrogen oxide (N₂O) and oxygen gas (O₂), which is administered through an inhaler over the nose. Total pressure of the mixture (P_{total}) is sum of partial pressure of N₂O (p_{N_{2}O }) and partial pressure of O₂, (p_{O_{2} }).

P_{total}=p_{N_{2}O } + p_{O_{2} }

P_{total}= 740 mmHg, p_{O_{2} }=370 mmHg

So, p_{N_{2}O }= (740-370) mmHg= 370 mmHg=370 torr

Hence, partial pressure of N₂O is 370 torr.

As, 1mmHg= 1 torr.

What happens in this reaction? <br><br> butan-1-amine + CH3I --&gt;
Galina-37 [17]

Here we have to get the product between the reaction of butane-1-amine with methyl iodide (CH₃I).

The  reaction between 1 mole of butan-1-amine and 1 mole of methyl iodide produces Methyl-butamine which is a secondary amine.

However, In presence of 2 moles of methyl iodide the reaction proceed to N, N-di-methylbutamine. The reaction is shown in the figure.

This is one of the effective reaction method to generate secondary and tertiary amine from primary amine.

The primary amine reacts with alkyl iodide to form secondary to tertiary amine. The final product depends upon the quantity of the alkyl iodide present in the reaction.
