Given:
175 kilograms of Methane (CH4) to be synthesized into Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN)
The balanced chemical equation is shown below:
2 CH4<span> + 2 NH</span>3<span> + 3 O</span>2<span> → 2 HCN + 6 H</span>2<span>O
</span>
To calculate for the masses of ammonia and oxygen needed, our basis will be 175 kg CH4.
Molar mass:
CH4 = 16 kg/kmol
NH3 = 17 kg/kmol
O2 = 32 kg/kmol
mass of NH3 = 175 kg CH4 / 16 kg/kmol * (2/2) * 17 kg/kmol
mass of NH3 = 185.94 kg NH3 needed
mass of O2 = 175 kg CH4 / 16 kg/kmol * (3/2) * 32 kg/kmol
mass of O2 = 525 kg
mass of O = 525 kg / 32 kg/kmol * (1/2) * 16 kg/kmol
mass of O = 131.25 kg O
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Yes, A substance can be a lewis acid without being a Bronsted-Lowery acid because there are some substances which cannot donate protons(Bronsted-Lowery acid) but can accept a pair of electron.
<u><em>For Example:</em></u>
Let us take the example of BF₃
BF₃ contains no proton so it is not a Bronsted Lowery Acid
However, BF₃ has an incomplete octet with 6 electrons. It needs an electron pair to complete its octet. It accepts a pair of electron to become a Lewis Acid
This process is named taxonomy.
