(a) Is a weak Brønsted-Lowry base necessarily a weak Lewis
Chapter 18, Problem 87P(choose chapter or problem)
(a) Is a weak Brønsted-Lowry base necessarily a weak Lewis base? Explain with an example.
(b) Identify the Lewis bases in the following reaction:
\(\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{4}{ }^{2+}(a q)+4 \mathrm{CN}^{-}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{CN})_{4}{ }^{2-}(a q)+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\)
(c) Given that \(K_{c}>1\) for the reaction in part (b), which Lewis base is stronger?
Equation Transcription:
Kc > 1
Text Transcription:
Cu(H_2O)_4^2+(aq) + 4CN ⎺ (aq) ⇌ Cu(CN)_4^2-(aq) + 4H_2O(l)
Kc > 1
