The carbon-oxygen double bond, or carbonyl, is a key feature of many organic molecules. Two resonance structures can be used to illustrate the properties of the carbonyl structure as provided. In analyzing the minor resonance structure, what can we conclude about the Lewis acid properties of the carbonyl? A) The carbon atom in the carbonyl will act as a Lewis acid and will donate a pair of electrons. B) The carbon atom in the carbonyl will act as a Lewis acid and will accept a pair of electrons. C) The oxygen atom in the carbonyl will act as a Lewis acid and will accept a pair of electrons. H3C CH3 H3C CH3 D) The oxygen atom in the carbonyl will act as a Lewis acid and will donate a pair of electrons.

Sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides are pollutants that are produced when fossil fuels are burned. Sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides react with water in the atmosphere, which leads to the production of sulfuric acid and nitric acid, and thus naturally acidic and has a pH of approximately 5.6, but acid rain has a lower pH, sometimes below 4. One of the effects of acid rain is to increase the rate of deterioration of statues and buildings made of limestone and marble. Limestor composed of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, which is not very soluble in pure water. The following equations can be written for the carbonate ion.
