The reason CO₂ is a Lewis acid is: A) The oxygen carries a partial negative charge so it can donate a pair of electrons. B) The oxygen reacts with water to form hydroxide ions. C) The carbon carries partial positive charge so it can accept a pair of electrons. D) The carbon releases the oxygen to the water forming H₂O₂.

Explain why the neutralization reaction of a weak acid and a strong base gives a weekly basic solution. A) The reaction of weak acids or bases with strong acids and bases change the Kw of water, leading to a basic solution at equilibrium. B) The excess strong base creates the basic solution. C) The weak acid gets converted to its conjugate base, which then reacts with water. D) The weak acid gets protonated and the protonated weak acid then deprotonates in water. E) This is a trick question – the neutralization of weak acid by base has to yield a neutral solution, not a basic one – that’s why it’s called a neutralization reaction.
