Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base in each of the following equations: (a) Cu2+(aq) + 4NH3(aq) --> Cu(NH3)42+(aq) (b)H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3(aq) (c)H2O + SO2 --> H2SO3(aq) (d) NH3+ BCl3 --> H3N:BCl
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base in each of the following equations:
(a) Cu2+(aq) + 4NH3(aq) --> Cu(NH3)42+(aq)
(b)H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3(aq)
(c)H2O + SO2 --> H2SO3(aq)
(d) NH3+ BCl3 --> H3N:BCl3
Lewis acid have vacant orbital and non metal and metal form Lewis acid
Boron have electron deficient, so Boron have tendency to accept electron , and CO2 , carbon is tendency to accept electron from base,
Lewis base have lone pair, negative charged these are called Lewis base. ex- Ammonia have 1 lone pair and water have 2 lone pair.
