Explanation:
Carbon dioxide is a polar molecule whose positive center is on the carbon atom: This positive center is able to attract (and accept) the lone electron pairs present on the oxide ion (O2-). carbon dioxide is acts as a Lewis acid
A Lewis acid can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base. The boron in BF3 is electron poor and has an empty orbital, so it can accept a pair of electrons, making it a Lewis acid. A Lewis acid is defined as an electron-pair acceptor.
In CO molecule, there is a lone pair on both carbon and oxygen. The substance which can donate an electron pair are called Lewis base. It is clear that CO molecule can donate an electron pair and hence, it is a Lewis base. Also, CO can be BOTH a Lewis acid and base.
Oxygen is a Lewis base (that too a weak one), not a Lewis acid. REASON: It has lone pair of electrons, which can be donated to electron-deficient species (Lewis acids).
Methane is Neither a Lewis Acid or Lewis Base.
Answer:
kinetic energy than the potential energy it carries
Explanation:
Answer:
The chemist needs to react 40 g of sulfur with 60 g of oxygen to make 100 g of sulfur trioxide.
Explanation:
2S (s) + 3O₂ (g) → 2SO₃ (g)
64g + 96g → 160 g
32g + 48g → 80 g
x + y → 100 g
1 mol SO₃ ___ 80g
n _______ 100g
n = 1.25 mol SO₃
1 mol S ___ 32 g
1,25 mol S __ 40 g
1 mol O₂ ___ 32 g
1,875 mol O₂ ___ 60 g
Answer:
Reaction A and B are unfavorable.
Explanation:
Gibbs free energy is an energy which that can be use to convert into useful work.
ΔG°=ΔH°-TΔS°
ΔG°= Gibbs free energy
ΔH° = enthalpy of reaction
T = temperature of eh reaction
ΔS° = Entropy change
- If the Gibbs free energy of the reaction is positive than the reaction will be non spontaneous and the chemical reaction will be not feasible.
- If the Gibbs free energy of the reaction is negative than the reaction will be spontaneous and the chemical reaction will be feasible .
According to given information in the question:
Reaction A and B are non spontaneous as their Gibbs free energy value is positive.hence both are unfavorable.
