Answer:
Lewis acid is a substance that donates a lone-pair of electrons.
Explanation:
What is said in the statement corresponds to a Lewis base, not an acid. For example, NH3 is a Lewis base, since it is capable of donating its pair of electrons. Trimethylborane (Me3B) is a Lewis acid, since it is capable of accepting a solitary pair.
There are 2.32 x 10^6 kg sulfuric acid in the rainfall.
Solution:
We can find the volume of the solution by the product of 1.00 in and 1800 miles2:
1800 miles2 * 2.59e+6 sq m / 1 sq mi = 4.662 x 10^9 sq m
1.00 in * 1 m / 39.3701 in = 0.0254 m
Volume = 4.662 x 10^9 m^2 * 0.0254 m
= 1.184 x 10^8 m^3 * 1000 L / 1 m3
= 1.184 x 10^11 Liters
We get the molarity of H2SO4 from the concentration of [H+] given by pH = 3.70:
[H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-3.7 = 0.000200 M
[H2SO4] = 0.000100 M
By multiplying the molarity of sulfuric acid by the volume of the solution, we can get the number of moles of sulfuric acid:
1.184 x 10^11 L * 0.000100 mol/L H2SO4 = 2.36 x 10^7 moles H2SO4
We can now calculate for the mass of sulfuric acid in the rainfall:
mass of H2SO4 = 2.36 x 10^7 moles * 98.079 g/mol
= 2.32 x 10^9 g * 1 kg / 1000 g
= 2.32 x 10^6 kg H2SO4
Unburned hydrocarbon on reacting with oxygen undergoes combustion reaction. However, the activation energy of this reaction is significantly high. When a catalyst like Pd is added to the reaction system, it provides active sites for the reaction to occur. It acts are a heterogeneous catalyst. It is pertinent of note that catalyst is refereed as heterogeneous, when it exist in different phase as compared to reactant and products. In present case, reactants and products are in gas phase, while catalyst is in solid phase. Due to availability of larger surface area at active site of Pd, activation energy of reaction decreases and decrease in activation energy favors higher reaction rates.
I believe that the answer to the question provided above is that <span>they formed two very different hypotheses since it is what they saw according to what they knew. Also hypothesis is just an intelligent guess.</span>
