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⁺

Given the general chemical equation 3A + 2B → C + 5D,
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer :

(a) The number of moles of D produced can be, 6.67 moles.

(b) The volume of D prepared can be, 24.5 L

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

3A+2B\rightarrow C+5D

Part (a) :

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that:

As, 3 moles of A react to give 5 moles of D

So, 4 moles of A react to give \frac{5}{3}\times 4=6.67 moles of D

Thus, the number of moles of D produced can be, 6.67 moles.

Part (b) :

As we know that 1 moles of substance occupies 22.4 L volume of gas.

As, 2\times 22.4L volume of B gives 5\times 22.4L volume of D

As, 9.8 L volume of B gives \frac{5\times 22.4L}{2\times 22.4L}\times 9.8L=24.5L volume of D

Thus, the volume of D prepared can be, 24.5 L

Arrange the following units in decreasing order: nm,km,pm,Dm,mm,m,cm,hm,gm
goblinko [34]

The units are nm (nano-meter), km (kilo-meter), pm (pico-meter), dm (decimeter), mm (millimeter), m (meter), cm (centimeter), hm (hectometer) and gm (gigameter). Now we can express each of these units in terms of m.

1 nm = 10^{-9}m, 1 Km = 10^{3}m 1 pm = 10^{-12}m, 1 dm = 0.1 m, 1 mm = 0.001 m, 1 cm = 0.01 m, 1 hm = 100 m, 1 gm = 10^{9} m. Thus the decreasing unit will be

gm>km>hm>m>dm>cm>mm>nm>pm

In subtractive color mixing, like with ink on paper, when all three primary colors are combined the result is?
Maslowich

Subtractive colors mixing with all three primaries will result in black.

<h3>How are the 3 primary subtractive colors combined?</h3>

Adding all three subtractive primary color filters together will absorb all the colors of the white light spectrum as appeared below. Each filter (or pigment) absorbs its harmonizing color and transmits (diffusely reflects) the others.

Primary colors union of these three results in white. The subtractive primary colors are related to the subtraction of light: cyan, magenta, and yellow, the colors used in four-color printing, the union of these results in black.

So we can conclude that the usually used subtractive primary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow, and if you overlap all three in a successful equal mixture.
