Problem 95E
Lewis Acids and Bases (Section)
Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base among the reactants in each of the following reactions:
(a) Fe(ClO4)3(s) + 6 H2O(l) ⇌ Fe(H2O)63+(aq) + 3 ClO4-(aq)
(b) CN-(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ HCN(aq) + OH-(aq)
(c) (CH3)3N(g) + BF3(g) ⇌ (CH3)3NBF3(s)
(d) HlO(lq) + NH2-(lq) ⇌ NH3(lq) + lO-(lq)
(lq denotes liquid ammonia as solvent)
Solution
The first step in solving 16 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 95ELewis Acids and Bases (Section)Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base among the reactants in each of the following reactions:(a) Fe(ClO4)3(s) + 6 H2O(l) ⇌ Fe(H2O)63+(aq) + 3 ClO4-(aq)(b) CN-(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ HCN(aq) + OH-(aq)(c) (CH3)3N(g) + BF3(g) ⇌ (CH3)3NBF3(s)(d) HlO(lq) + NH2-(lq) ⇌ NH3(lq) + lO-(lq)(lq denotes liquid ammonia as solvent)
From the textbook chapter Acid–Base Equilibria you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
