Answer:
In the formation of diazonium ion intermediate, the <em><u>4-sulfanilic acid acts as the Lewis acid</u></em>, while the <em><u>sodium nitrite is the Lewis base.</u></em>
Explanation:
A Lewis acid is by definition an electron pair acceptor (such as the H+ ion, that can accept a pair of non-bonding electrons) and a Lewis base is an electron pair donor (such as the OH- ion, that can donate a pair of non-bonding electrons).
In the formation of diazonium ion intermediate, the 4-sulfanilic acid acts as the Lewis acid(by transference of a lone pair from its nitrogen atom), while the sodium nitrite is the Lewis base.
<em>N.B </em><em>its sodium nitrite, NaNO2 (which is slightly basic in solution) not nitrate NaNO3 (which is neutral in solution)</em>
