Chapter 3, Problem 40PP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Lewis acid and Lewis base should be found from the given acid-base reaction.

Concept introduction:

Lewis acid-base concept:

In acid-base reaction, electron pair donor is called Lewis base and electron pair acceptor is called Lewis acid.

Example:

Lewis acid-base reaction is shown below.

$\text{A:}\text{+}{\text{B}}^{\text{+}}\underset{}{\to }\text{AB}$

In this reaction, A is Lewis base, which can donate its lone pair electrons to electron deficient group, here ${\text{B}}^{\text{+}}$ is electron deficient and accepts the electron pair from A, ${\text{B}}^{\text{+}}$ is Lewis acid here.

To find: the Lewis acid and Lewis base for the given acid-base reaction.
